Okay, so I'm supposed to revise my paper and prepare a draft presentation for my major professor and for my committee. What am I doing? Procrastinating. I suppose I need to get into the mood of writing anyway, so I might as well write while I'm procrastinating.
It's pretty exciting everything that's going on right now. I should, if all goes according to plan, be finished with vast majority of my Master of Science degree work by Thursday of this week. I suppose I should say that I am already finished with the majority of my work as I have already taken 30 hours of classes and done all my research already. However, I'm now in the red zone and need to make a touchdown. That's where a good deal of the work lies.
Well, I've gotten my POS completed and signed. I've put in my Add/Drop slip so K-State can claim it's graduation tax. I've put in my "Approval to Schedule Final Examination" and been approved. I've given the Graduate School my title page and abstract. I've told them what name to put on my diploma. I've even filled out my exit survey—in which, I was none too nice either, I might add. I can't says as the Grad School did anything in particular to "assist" me, which is their claimed purpose—rather they provided a number of red taped hurdles to cross and no help hurdling neither...but I digress.
Anyway, that means I could be done graduated here in none to soon. I still need to figure out if I'm going to walk or not. I better decide soon as I have until November 9th to rent my robes. I'm kind of leaning towards walking, mostly because of the volume of work I've done in the last two-and-a-half years to get here. Besides, it'll make my moms happy.
Moving on to home stuff—we plod onward. Our inspections are pretty much done. There's yet a survey to be done/get the report for, but other than that we've finished. The house needs a few very minor repairs including some work on the windows and roof. And, the house doesn't have termites or any termite damage according to the inspection. I'd say the existing owners have done a fantastic job of keeping the house up.
The negotiating process continues and should be resolved in a week or so. Then we're set for the closing date in December. We're beginning the prep work for cleaning up our apartment and packing and are looking at a preliminary date to do the big move on December 18th. We're also looking at some painting we'd like to get done before moving.
Anyway, I suppose I've procrastinated long enough...so...off to my paper...yay. Cheers.
