Ginseng Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Thought I'd share with my FOH mates...today I successfully defended my doctoral research proposal. I am officially ABD or "all but dissertation." It's been two long months of writing the proposal itself and then finally doing the oral defense today. After they grilled me for two hours, I got called back in and given the news. My advisor told me I killed 'em. So, I got a big weight off my back and have a little breather. Feels good. Hope to smoke a few cigars for pleasure this weekend instead of just to stay awake. Anyways, thanks for being patient with my mental absence. Cheers! Wilkey
