It's Official

It is finally official, my thesis defence shall take place on November 18th, 2009 at 8:30am. I am both stressed and excited for this and very glad to finally have a deadline date. I work well with pressure, so I feel like I have finally received the pressure I need to really get back into work. Along with the terror that comes with the importance of this defence some anxiety also comes in the fact that it has been scheduled for 8:30am. Any of you who know me know that I am not really a morning person. Getting up and there won't be a problem, but just realizing that I am not at my best mentally at that point in the day, so prayers for mental clarity and alertness would be appreciated, as well as prayers that I will be able to sleep well without any anxiety getting in the way.
Once I have finished with my defence, anticipating that it goes successfully, I will have a few days of revisions to make and then I will have it sent in to someone who has agreed to be my APA checker/editor (since I am the official one for the department). After that I get to go through the edits and have it printed and bound. Once I hand in 3 bound copies to the school I can officially graduate and get my diploma. After sending it in for editing I plan to go to Oregon for Thanksgiving while my thesis is in with the editor...it will be good to reward myself, but also to be able to go and not have any homework that I will feel guilty about not doing.
Well, time for me to go make some dinner so I can get back to work.
