Finished.

A long, long time ago, I had the dumb bright idea to start graduate school. Sam was an infant, I was having an identity crisis… it seemed like a good idea at the time. To me. Not so much to Jenny.

It didn’t take long for me to second-guess that decision.

Along the way, I’ve moaned and whined about the entire experience, and you’ve all been there for me. Seriously, the comments on the posts I linked to above? Made me tear up a little.

Despite all my complaining, I managed to finish my coursework in the spring of 2010. A year and a half ago. Since then, the only thing standing between me and the hood I’ve envied for so long was one little thing – my thesis.

I’ve worried about it, put it off, and generally felt bad about it for so long…

But I am so relieved to report that it. Is. Finished.

Not just written – defended. And I passed.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that this thing is over and how much I appreciate your support throughout the whole debacle.

Now, I am going to sleep. (Yes it is 7p.m., what’s your point?)

Tomorrow, I move on with my life.

  4. Congratulations!

    Mrs. Duggar says that with all that “education crap” out of the way, it’s time for another baby or two, or three, or four…

        1. Yes, I heard. The last time I posted about number 19, just a FEW SHORT MONTHS ago…let’s just say some were less than pleased with my thoughts…Success? I think so!

  7. Congratulations, I never ever could have completed a thesis! Everyone always thinks med school is so hard, blah blah blah. I had a timeline that someone else set up, I never had to defend anything and all my tests are multiple choice. Masters and PhD is for masochists!

  8. Great job cousin! I am super proud of you! And, I fervently pray that now that you are so much more educmacated than me, you will loosen up and get a sense of humor. Let’s go for your M.A. in comedic taste!!!
