Precontemplation

Today I opened up the document that contained APA revisions on my dissertation. (You know, the one I defended about 9 months ago.  Thank you very much internship madness, moving, and 6th Edition Publication Manual for creating such a lovely crack to slip through, and one so literal that it took weeks to locate this revised electronic copy!)

And then I opened the dissertation checklist document that listed all the things I did wrong.

And then I minimized both screens.

Later today I opened up a binder 3 inches thick of study material for the BIG, FAT test I have to take to get licensed. And I flipped through the practice questions. And I scanned the accelerated 14 week study schedule.

And then I shut the binder and pushed it far, far away from me.

I'm going to go with Scarlett on this one: "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."

You can do it Robin. You've done everything they've asked so far and did it to the fullest. One more hoop...you're just about there. Proud of you, daughter!!
