february!!!!!! 1 month ago

And I want to finish it in 2012. No more procrastinating.

Someone told me that the best dissertation is the finished dissertation….that will be mine. The finished one, that is. 1 month ago

Feeling that it needs to be done soon and fighting the low motivation. I’ve started to write my thesis articles and the process is so painful. I’m open to motivational suggestions. 2 months ago

I will finish my PhD and move on with my life !
My husband and 12 months old son have been very patient but NOW is the time. I will finish this year. It is a promise. 4 months ago

I didn’t actually imagine myself completing this thing. What a beast. My advisor was unavailable for months due to family health issues, and then a family death. I was unavailable due to my own family health issues where my wife was hospitilized several times (without insurance). Also, I had two young kids (pre-k), and had to work during my PhD. During my studies I had to overcome a stuttering/speech problem that made my presentations incoherent. I received no good feedback from my advisor in the six months leading up to my defense…. I went in BLIND. I had no idea what to expect. Somehow, I was able to pass with flying colors, and my family was able to survive the 5 years it took to complete it. My faith in God has been strengthened, and my self confidence has increased. I now have a position as a professor!!! If I could do it, anybody could to it. 5 months ago
