You'll do fine!!! Remember, your the EXPERT in your project

Just go in there and exude confidence when you defend!!! I was nervous, but I got my hair and nails done with a excellent looking suit before I defended...

And as far as writing, hopefully your program will give you leeway... Make sure you dot your "i's" and cross your "t's" to the format of your university.

And Space and Planetary sciences... You go girl!!! Not too many women in that field of science... Does that mean you go to Mauna Kea?

I wish I was at Mauna Kea, but I actually don't do any observational work. Everything I do is in a lab or looking at remote imagery from other planets.

As for my defense and dissertation, I am really just going to be happy when it is all done, but to make things interesting I am actually going to be 24 and a half weeks pregnant when I defend.

When I first posted in this thread I was just looking at programs, now I'm in my 2nd year. I was looking back on this thread and can't believe that the time has gone by so quickly. I also think it's interesting that I ended up in a Counseling program when I initially was looking to get an MA in English. I think I made a good choice though, since I love talking to people and helping others, so why not get paid for it?
