Hi all, and happy May! So many scary, exciting things are happening for me right now –– as a third-year PhD student, I take my qualifying exams this month (starting TOMORROW!), a combination of oral and written tests that determine whether or not I advance to candidacy (AKA, become “all-but-dissertation” and officially finish my coursework). If all goes well, after this month, I’ll be able to devote my time as a student exclusively to my planned dissertation! This is roughly the halfway point of my doctoral program, which I really can’t believe.
Your Hold is Ready! (05.14.23.)
