Life in graduate school often has to deal with sudden notice of new deadlines. (I'm sure working people are the same though.) Anyways.... my deadline for the dissertation is now set at December 25, 2008, the Christmas!!!!
I feel a bit betrayed though.... cuz usually we have until the end of January to get things done. Now it's moved up ONE WHOLE MONTH!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they just told us now?????? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Oh well... that's something we cannot do anything for. If life needs to be treated that way, it will. I will look forward to more ski trips during the post-thesis submission, then! =P
