Just a thought...

Maybe it's just me...but when someone tells me that I can't do something, or they don't think I'll make it, I just want to punch them in the nose and say "Yes I can!!". And then it makes me want to try all the more harder to prove them wrong :) Yes, I do have a goal to defend my thesis on May 28th...and, yes, logically I should say--no way--seeing as I still have a long road to go. However, I don't think really it is the date that I am focused on at this point. I want to have a summer--with no more graduate program. I want to feel free of this so that I can rest from 2 years of sheer pain! So to me, May 28th is just a date---and honestly, I just may not get the date..but moreso May 28th is a goal to work to the bone, and, even if I don't get it defended that day--I will know that I have put my EVERY EFFORT into trying. So--maybe it's just me--just a thought---sometimes people say things and it lights a fire in you to prove them all wrong! So, here's to a full-blooded month of work...my goal--to work to the best that I know how, using every minute to focus on this day, even if I don't reach it. :)
