Lauren's thoughts

OCCUPATION: PhD student FAVORITES: being with my wonderful husband Steve, stand-up comedy, travel, Harry Potter, reading for enjoyment, music (eclectic: orchestral, jazz & blues, top 40, oldies), cooking vegetarian cuisine, spending time with friends, watching "my shows" (Grey's Anatomy, Lost, 24, Six Feet Under, Sopranos) & shopping at Lerner NY & Co! DISLIKES: accidentally eating meat, hatred, intolerance, odd numbers, & dirty kitchens

is it over yet?

Until yesterday, I was feeling pretty good about being done with my written comps portion and not yet nervous about the orals. Now I'm nervous. Waiting to get my questions via e-mail last week, I felt like I always did before auditions--that butterfly in the stomach, have to pee, excited but nervous feeling. I'm sure that in the couple hours before my meeting starts tomorrow (1-3pm), it will return.

I just want it to be OVER! I was so into this last week, I was so prepped and ready. Now I'm just tired of it, tired of being nervous, tired of the whole process. I would have been at my peak for orals last Thursday, I think, after having Wed as a break. Of course, that would be impossible for my committee to read my written answers so fast!

Cross your fingers for me. Hopefully tomorrow at this time I will be ABD!

Hey Lauren give em hell tomorrow. I tried to send an email to wish you luck but for some reason it isn't working.
Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you
See you when you come traveling in for Christmas of New Years

You're going to be great! You're so well-prepared and smart, and that adrenaline will kick in before you go to your committee to make you have to pee again. =) If it doesn't, just have a beer, and that'll make you have to go. Or not. I'm crossing everything I can without hurting myself.
