It’s Official
Posted by mike on Mar 2, 2010 in Doctoral Adventure |
I had a conversation with my academic adviser the other day. It is official, I am ABD! While some would think of this as mark of failure I don’t consider it that way at all. My intent is to finish not remain in this done with course work limbo common to some doctoral learners.
A plan fully in effect, I begin with my mentor in a few weeks and will have a draft ready for her on day one. That means a lot of work ahead of me. Time is a precious commodity these days and work seems to be increasing in demand. So, I am drawing a line in the sand. Across this line, no work shall pass. I need to block the time and protect it so I can make it to March 16 with a document ready for review.
Wish me luck!

Many fall down the rabbit hole and disappear during this stage because they don’t have a plan in place. It’s good that you already have some dates set. I was lucky enough to have an advisor who didn’t mind meeting every two weeks. This kept the ball rolling (most of the time.)
