I PASSED!
I am now ABD!

Officially admitted into candidacy! Ph. d. here I come.

The good:

• My presentation looked AWESOME.
• I had answers for every question.
• I got several compliments on my writing and research skills.
• oh yeah and I passed!!!!!
  

The bad:

• One of my committee members is clearly clueless and kept asking pointless questions the entire time and wanting changes just because they didn't like it that I use words like juxtaposition, myriad, plethora, leviathan. Number one I talk like that in real life. Number two if you don't get to use your 50 cent words in your dissertation when can you use them?
• I have to make minor changes in my survey.

The ugly:

• Well this isn't ugly...but I completely refrained from making faces, throwing a chair, or throttling above mentioned committee member.
• I have to do structural equation modeling which I was avoiding like the plague...I know it will make my study better, but I just wanted to go the short way!
