Not tri-related, good mojo wanted tomorrow - Dissertation Proposal
I am presenting my dissertation proposal tomorrow afternoon at 3PM CDT. It is not sports-related, but looking at the relationship between fruit and vegetable, and fat intake and binge eating symptoms in African American and Hispanic women. I feel confident about the presentation and that my proposal will be approved, but don't think it hurts to ask for you guys to send me some extra good thoughts mojo, too.
After I propose (and it is approved), I'll start the analysis (my advisor already has all the data). The plan is to defend October/November and graduate in December.
I appreciate all your support!

sounds super interesting!!! I'd say good luck, but you don't need luck, you're ready and will be wonderful!
All the best Penny I am sure you will rock it.
Here's all my Wednesday mojo for you. I've already had my 'gem of the week', that is what I call my big breakthrough so I'm am covered.
Good luck you will have lots of analysis and work ahead of you.

@William: Yeah, they wouldn't let me propose if they didn't think I was ready.
PhD = Degree in persistence. This is just one more hoop to jump through.
Go Penny!
Sending you all the best!
We have our "oral" in the 5th semester, and it CAN be a filter point (though it's pretty uncommon for anything bad to happen). Despite its rarity, the students all get very nervous, and I suppose that's appropriate. What they have a hard time understanding is that something that is this HUUUUGE part of their lives is just another hope-it's-at-least-interesting-and-doesn't-go-on-forever run of the mill meeting for all the other professors besides their own major professor.... kinda like the guy who plays the music at your wedding...just another gig. :-)
Hope it all went super!
@William: I totally understand. Being an "older" student I think I understand more about preparing and exactly what you say - "just another student proposal." I'm fortunate that my committee is supportive. A friend of mine is having hell with one of his committee members (who used to me my major professor). He proposes this afternoon. It is going to be painful.
But, I get a celebration massage this morning, and more sleep!
Thanks for all the support everyone!
woo hoo!!!! congrats!
Well done Penny, like the massage idea.
