And that brings me to the blog post...
I turned in a draft of my project report to my committee. Somehow today's self-imposed deadline was met. I'm not sure how I did it, but I'm sure there was some divine intervention. I'm definitely a believer! Ask me if I believe in miracles--the answer is a definite YES. Now, I know there are still revisions to be made, edits to write, maybe tears to be shed, but for now, I feel great. (thanks to everyone who was so supportive and encouraging during this week of stress and anxiety--I sincerely appreciate your love and concern. also thanks for reading and/or listening to all my rants about projects and deadlines, you guys are the best!)
Way to go we knew you could do it! By the way did anyone have the shrek song playing in their head as they read this post... no, just me? I have got to get out more
ReplyDeleteCongrats Brea! Sorry Friday was so crazy for me and I couldn't help edit. I'm glad Ashley could come through for you! I'd be more than willing to look at a newer draft. Hooray for meeting self-imposed deadlines and being one giant leap closer to graduating!!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I had that song playing in my head too. Maybe I need to get out more as well!
