hold me to it

Okay- I am going to be starting my 10th year in graduate school. Not that I was actually enrolled all that time. I've taken about 3 years on-leave, but nonetheless. The Graduate school has a 10 year rule. You have to finish within the 10 years or you have to re-apply or petition them or some such rigamarole.

So, I'm hereby declaring that I plan to finish my dissertation and graduate in spring 2010. It will take much more dedication and time than I've been putting in to date, but I do understand that life will have to change for a year so that I can finish. I hope that everyone else in my life will understand that as well. I really want to be PhinisheD! ;-)

There is one other person who started in Sociology the same year I did. She is also gearing up to finish in the Spring. We've both got our work cut out for us, but hopefully we can use each other as a support network.

So, please help me to finish by providing your support, encouragement, and understanding of my time constraints...and in return you'll have my eternal gratitude.
