How to get my PhD
It made me
YEAH! 
"A four-year marathon, but worthwhile! :D"
How I did it: Started it right after I got my Master's degree, and it took me four years to finish it. Just presented my doctoral work last tuesday (june 16th), and the examiners really liked it. A lot of work, but it paid off in the end.
Now I'm a Ph.D. in physics! :)
(yea, yea, kinda like the big bang theory :P)
People doing this are also doing these things:

Worked on it this weekend
1 month ago
and I brought my laptop to work today to work on it during lunch. I’m creating a table of all the data points in order, which I had already, but my chair wanted it done differently, so I’ll do it. At this point, I’ll do whatever they want me to do so I can be done.

I want to get my Phd
2 months ago
I’m BA student, and I really want to get my PhD in Literature, but still need to get my MA first. It seems a mere dream to me sometimes, but I want to make it real.I want to live it, I want to see the day when I’ll be a Doctor.

Got the reviewed draft back
2 months ago
and, whew! Do I have a lot of work to do! Now it’s here and I’m going to get on it. Nothing, nothing is going to stop me from finishing this dissertation, successfully defending my dissertation, and getting that degree this summer! 80% of the effort in 20% of the time—that’s now.

Summer grad (I hope)
2 months ago
My committee chair says I could defend during the summer, graduate in August, and go through commencement in December. I’m neck and neck with another one of her students, so we both could get the degree within months. She said the last 20% of the work takes 80% of the effort, and I’m so there. This weekend is a hard focus on getting the lit review completed.

Study for comps at least 4 hours a week for April… 10 hours a week in May… 15-25 hours a week in June (when I will not have a job anymore)...
today i'm scared

actually thinking what in the world would i want a phd for? that’s because it’s not been smooth as silk getting back in. if just getting the paperwork to get back in could be such a huge pain, can you imagine the “time” to be spent there?
and it seems even dumber because i’m happy now, and will likely be unhappy in grad school, the place has crappy energy, hehehe.

So I have all 5 committee members, although my 4th one hasn’t responded to my recent email. I hope she’s not bailing on me :-(
