Happy National Dessert Day!
My peers who’ve preceded me in finishing their doctor of philosophy degrees can agree:
Cleaner and clearer are better.
That means: clean desks and clear minds …
Plus clean PowerPoint s to clear our minds !
Two of my esteemed classmates who graduated a few years ago and whose guidance I sought for my paper and slideshow both explicitly pointed out that I most certainly must cut back
Down to 120-140 slides, no more than 150!
As the ☼summer☼ drew to a close ~ during my most recent hurdle (that lasted four months as we entered fall term ), my statistics ~ I already reached 300+ slides and reached 300+ pages of my dissertation
Yet that’s way too many to fit into a two-hour presentation (including professors ‘ Q&A) ~ so I’ve reduced down to almost ½ so far!
This slide: an indicator that I measured a TON of stats ! I ended up taking out 50+ slides last night … Shooting to eliminate more. Next issue: making sure that the fewer slides that I look less cluttered
Just as I’ve had to minimize my clutter-bug and shutter-bug ways, I’m also de-cluttering / cleaning and clearing up my PowerPoint
That way, I can advance into the next round !

During my bday vacay last week, I visited a home that is among my fondest memories :
my beloved soon-to-be (in 2½ weeks) Birthday Girl aunt’s estate !
Not only am I a fan, but apparently and rightfully so, her community also is as well because both
in ☼ The Baltimore Sun☼ Â
The highlight of my stay was when I sat in my Tita Fe ‘s gourmet kitchen with Mami Aya
Tita Fe &Â Tito Rudy Tito Robert &Â Tita Yollie (my mom’s youngest brother & his wife)
each endorsed me for my PhD ~ providing their sound advice that I’ll take with me as I progress toward my doctoral dissertation defense .

The clearing of clutter continues …
Just a few books in my library
