I took the week off of work to get some serious writing done on my dissertation proposal and I got to the point I wanted to before my meeting with my chair this afternoon, and let me say what a relief to have such a good chunk of this writing done!! ๐Ÿ˜Œ definitely more work to do, but feeling good!!

Really proud of the work put into our second annual Signature Student Leadership Retreat this past weekend!!

Lengthening the program, modifying presentation/small group structures, and increasing enrollment from 18 to 33 were all big wins from last yearโ€™s pilot experience!!

Scheduled a cert exam for the first Friday in the new year, meaning most my break will be spent rewatching 30-hrs of prep course recordings and finally reading 1,500 pages of the prep-book content.

This feels like a beast, but I feel primed and ready to tackle this over these next two weeks.
