During this week’s conference call with my dissertation chair , she called me
conscientious .
I not only accepted this ~ to ♥heart♥ and absolutely at face value ~ as the best compliment from her (when we were discussing the running and re-running of my statistics for my research results ) but also am ensuring that I live up to this standard .
When my cohort members and I were admitted into our doctoral program , conscientiousness * happened to be one of the personality traits for which we tested and that we studied in our leadership theories literature. It comes from the (1b) Big Five psychometric assessment that uses the “OCEAN ” acronym:
O penness (or O riginality)
*C onscientiousness (or C onsolidation)
E xtroverion ~ I’ve also consistently tested high for this in the (2) Myers-Briggs (as an ENFJ for E xtraversion • In tuition • F eeling • J udging) both when I took it as a psych minor for my undergrad and again in doc school
A greeableness (or A ccommodation)
N euroticism (or Emotional In stability) ~ the reverse of this attribute as leaders and doc students is ideal to deal
According to the (1a) instrument provided by my doctoral degree program , someone who is conscientious is “achievement”-oriented and “self-disciplined” ~ so this implies that conscientiousness involves intentions (definitely something for which I strive ).
Currently, my conscientiousness has stuck with me through school ~ as both a scholar and an educator !
This past week, I taught my students about literary terms , so I tied them into ♪music♫ and pop culture:
Asyndeton in ♫George Strait ‘s ♪The Chair♪
VIDEO
Irony in ♫Alanis Morissette ‘s ♪Ironic♪
VIDEO
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Jeremy Lin ‘s How to Fit in the NBA

Personification plus Alliteration and Assonance in Funny Face that featured Audrey Hepburn !
If it (Quality magazine) won’t speak to me, it won’t speak to them.

Think pink * Red is dead * Blue is through * Green ‘s obscene * Brown’s too boo
Now I know that my advisor wasn’t trying to flatter me, but her acknowledgment meant encouragement … of the ♥heart .
I challenge you fellow servants and leaders to consider which personality traits that you have in order to enhance your strengths and improve from your weaknesses!

After I helped lead my †Church† in prayer at Vigil Mass, Fr. Bob , our Pastor , greeted me as “Soon-to-be Dr. Dispo ” ~ to which I replied, “GOD-willing ,” and “to glorify GOD .”

I added to my wardrobe from my YouTube gurus’ collections:
The gold handle hardware matches up w/my gold wristlet s complete w/satin polka dot ted lining w/a large zipped pocket in the inside back + handy-dandy compartments to store keys, lipstick, etc. Carries well w/the adjustable crossbody & double snaps above zipper closure ~ what appealed to me the most initially was the bowling bag shape! This’d go great with the CK colorblock dress from my Nanay !
Special Delivery today … Oh, snap as I call my stats a wrap ! Stats Cat wants to get in on the pacat ge wrap!
I must’ve scored the last 1 because it no longer stayed in stock the day after!

Happy Labor Day !
I devoted all weekend long (including today ~ and still going) on my dissertation : my Labor of ♥Love♥ … My goal is to finish writing my draft today and prepare my defense !
I luckily found a blank page in my stats book to jot down these blessings ~ I’m guaranteed to glance at them every single day since I study it anyway!
Thank GOD I have Grad Cat & Stats Cat to keep me company as moral support !
Here’s more stats comic relief … As I analyzed more results on the relationships between my research variables, I thought about the series of three numbers that I report in terms of body measurements.

I’ve been making the most out of this second 🚣🏻summer🌅 session away from teaching to keep cranking💻 out my doctoral🎓 📖dissertation until school starts !
My work load on finishing my draft📝 that details
has occupied the majority of everyday these past six weeks ~ so this can compare to a full time job!
S is for : 💡S cholar✨ = 🌈S ocial📳 🔭S cientist🔬
Despite not needing to report to a classroom everyday or answer to anyone, I as my own boss during my sabbatical still maintained a schedule .
My Around-the-Clock⏰ to Become Doc Routine
🌇Daily😵 😲wake-up😳 📋non-negotiables : prayer (the Rosary ), skin care , feed A&A
🍳Breakfast🍊 of 🏆Champs : fuel⛽️ up (postpone coffee☕️ to 2h after I wake up to help me sleep more easily later)
💪🏽Beast👊🏽 💓Mode : work out to get my brain juices & blood flowing
💡Scholar⚡️ 📓Mode : revise my working document for as many as 12h/day
Shower : taking a cold one on these hot dog days of summer can energize me between my workout and study session or I’ll relax in the bath between my scholarshift and bed time to snuggle in clean sheets
🌈Pleasure🌟👓Reading : I haven’t read as much non-scholarly material as I used to love to before college & grad school, but I’ve found that a little bit helps to ease my mind & unwind lately ~ my current reads are relevant to my research in an unconventional way (stay tuned this Study Saturday )
💭Choose😴 to 💤Snooze : as a chronic insomniac, I must make a conscientious effort to hit the sack ~ while I tend to stay up late reviewing and proofing my paper, I find that I’m more effective when I work on it earlier in the day with energy!
Just like Vince Carter had discipline with the Dallas Mavericks a couple of seasons ago, I also didn’t take break days! Yes, it’s essential to have some R&R , but at this point, I’m
In the Zone 🎯
So I can’t afford a single day off …
Therefore, I take 🌴mini-vacays , even for just a few minutes or hours⌚️ for my stories
