one down, one to go!

Posted by mountainmelody On 11/03/2009 07:38:00 AM
I just completed my mock viva (practice defense). Basically you go into a room, and three people sit at desks staring at you. They grill you on your topic, and anything else they might want to ask, for an hour or two.

Whew!

I have to say that I'm glad that it's over. Too bad it wasn't the real one--I have to do this all again in about three months!

I felt like things went very well, though. I answered all their questions--even responded intelligently on most of them! ;)

And they didn't recommend major changes to my dissertation. That means that I should be able to proofread it one last time and submit it by Friday. Yeah!!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

    Congratulations! And you, with mono. This will make for a good story to tell your grandchildren. :)

    I hope you are now taking a long nap.

    Thanks, everyone! Later I received very positive written feedback as well. It included the phrase, "be jubilant." So maybe I will be! :)

    That is awesome. I love that comment. Indeed. Be jubilant. I might just write a symphony in your honor. Something more than chocolate is in order here.
