    yeah me!

    Just got some good news and wanted to share: I just got the notice that I passed my last two qualifying exams so I am officially a doctoral candidate. Now I 'just' need to write my dissertation proposal.

    Anyway, sorry I had kinda dropped out of stuff the last few weeks. I wasn't feeling good about the exams so had been avoiding everything. This is such a huge relief.

    Thanks to my friends here, just for being there.

    Nicely done!

    Now just that little business about the dissertation. Piece of cake!

    Congrats! Now, as my mom used to say, "you just need to sit down and write your paper."
    Just assume anything I post here is meant in good humor and filled with obnoxious smiley emoticons ...

    Thanks all! I am just relieved to still have my job for another year.

    Also, just realized i meant 'yeah' like Yay! Tho i havent ever used yay. But yeah could read a couple different ways. Is that a regional thing?

    Right now I am thinking a narrative/content analysis of the Common Core and Texas math standards, or related textbooks. Most of the people in my department tend to do some kind of qual/quant project involving classroom practices, but cutting out the need for participants would make life a lot easier and keep this on target to be finished within the year. Plus I find the philosophical questions more engaging generally.
