I pitched my dissertation to the dept chair today...

[CharlesB]

...AND HE LOVED IT! I've got the green light an apparently he wants to team me up with 2 supervisors instead of 1 because he thinks the uni can throw some weight behin it

[CharlesB]

Pandemic Disease in Sub-saharan Africa- The looming political-economic threat of the 21st century

Very impressive although I'll admit I know little on the subject.

And important work too!

You will probably help to save lives! Good for you!

 

[imoldfashioned]

Whew! Bet you're glad to have that out of the way successfully. Now all you have to do is write it! But that's the fun part (says the research geek).

Congrats!

Congratulations to you! What a long road you've come on to get there (mind tainted by yet another 4AM-er for graduate work...)

I'll be totally "unprofessional" and go with an "AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME....!"

Who doesn't love the role of "tortured grad student's girlfriend"? lol She'll be there to pull you out of the basement when you need it, I'm sure.

Never fear, I am sure she will be back at home in the kitchen, making you a dinner that you will be late home to eat.

And then she shall stomp on you in her apron and stilettos for calling her the 'lil woman' on the internet.
