Two months ago …
Tito Regie (visiting from the PI🌴): When’s the BiG day?
Yours truly: 🙏GOD-willing, December 2015!
Uncle Reg meant when I’d become Mrs. So & So, & I meant when I’d become Dr. Dispo! 💒💍🏤

Just like many brides👰🏽 may 👣step👟 up their 🏈A-game🏀 to get wedding-ready, I as a 🎓Ph.D. candidate am doing everything in my power that backs up my dissertation, up until the day of my full defense:
- First of all, I’ve been wearing my class ring on my left hand since I received it after my candidacy (compare engagement/popping-the-question to comprehensive exams/answering-the-questions)
- Waking up every morning with it on my mind and tuning those thoughts into actions that support it (contacting folks [like in wedding planning], writing [like in marriage vows])
- Posting affirmations to remind me of my goal everyday, including this gorgeous reminder ~ inspired by TIU‘s K&K👙 in FFF📖 (this note is posted on my dashboard)
YES, I made it up: PhD for Pretty HOT Driver ~ what can I say? This. Is. LEGIT. #fuego
- Keeping my defense dress👗 hung up in plain view ~ so I can see it and envision myself presenting🎤 my paper📜 (I’ll also have a dress👔 rehearsal/run-through to practice while wearing it ahead of time)
- Exercising both my body and my brain for the physical and mental fitness to endure and persevere
- Hitting the sack one night closer from turning this 🌈dream💭 into a reality🏆
- Last, but certainly not least and actually the most important:
Always PRAY.
