A woman with a plan!

YAY! Today I met with my advisor and one of my labmates (the only one not in the field doing work) and we discussed my dissertation plans and writing up my proposal.

And, feeling confident that what I am proposing is good enough for a PhD (the worry that it wasn't has made me cranky and tired for ... weeks ...), I have made a plan.

Or, more specifically, a schedule!

Which is very exciting, because I love schedules!
(Seriously -- perhaps my love of schedules and planning and my love of cleaning is somehow related??)

Of course, the schedule is also scary because it does not end until May 2010.

Yes, 2010.

How old will I even be then? Oh yeah, 29!

But, at least I now have a plan!! I think this plan is my "kick in the ass"!
