Reality Check

Dr. Prioli {thesis advisor}: Well, Em...its time to get some dates down on paper...

Me: Sure is! Cannot believe how quickly summer snuck up on me.  What were you thinking? (deep breaths...August 4th is still far far far away in mommy land...)

Dr. Prioli: Let's see...(my heart races as he flips slowly through his planner) How about you have a 50-page draft to me by June 30th?

Me: (Completely freaking out but trying to practice that "I'm cool and chill on the surface even though completely overwhelmed underneath" skill I have learned from being a mom) Sure! Sounds great...will definitely have something to you by then.

Want to see what I've got so far? You are looking at it. Goose egg. Need motivation. Quickly. Thanks!

  2. You are already leaps and bounds ahead of me, who will not even start my thesis research until September! You'll make it with a little help from good ol' D.H. Hill :)
