Gimme, Gimme, Gimme

I must be a bit anxious if I am still up at 4:30 in the morning and watching/listening to Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!  There is something about the beat and the energy of this music from 1979.  Perhaps it brings back a time of incredible energy and passion.

The Night Before

Had my preliminary conference call with my comps mentor.  My questions will be in my inbox when I wake up. They must be in on Nov.15 at 9:59 PM. Will hear back on my results Nov. 23. It will be a fantastic Thanksgiving celebration as a Doctoral Candidate, I trust. The emphasis in the call was upon the dire consequences for discussing the questions with anyone and on plagiarism: failing he exam and expulsion from the University. I guess if I don't know any better than that by now, I shouldn't be where I am. Good night all. Sweet dreams.

Beginning Musings

I began thinking that I wanted to blog the rest of my daily journey to my PhD. I wanted it to lok back on and maybe it can also provide encouragement or assistance to anyone else on the doctoral path or who is thinking of starting on that path. So, to lay down the basics. I am in the PhD in Education program with a specialization in Adult and Postsecondary education at Capella University.  I began studies in May 2010 and what a ride it has been!  I have now finished all of my coursework with a 4.0 and am in my comprehensive exam phase. i am expecting my questions in a couple of days. I will then have 28 days to complete 50 pages of scholarly, brilliant writing. My plan is to pass the first timeround without any re-writes and then on to my research and dissertation.  So anyone want to guess howmuch anxiety I am experiencing right now?

I have spent the weekend organizing a massive amount of journal articles and my own writings.amunt of journal articles and my own writings so that all  tto access.
