OT: Accepted to PhD program!

purduecg Apr 13, 2006 12:08 PM

This is another OT, but we are all friends here, and I wanted to share. I was accepted into the #1 grad program in the country in Ed Psych!! After a LOT of soul searching I have decided that I will be quitting my job and moving Mosca and myself to Madison, WI so that I can work on (and hopefully get) my PhD!

I am really nervous, and super excited!

Elizabeth

ps - Since Mosca is just starting to come around I am going to try to hide the move from him until the last moment, so make sure Cleo nor any of his other friends don't tell him.

Yes, I am afraid a certain amount of insanity does really help while pursuing graduate degrees. I think Vonnie may have the right idea sticking with the Masters... but I want to be a "Professor" so off to get a doctorate I go!

If I seem to slowly lose my mind even further over the next 4 years please be kind to me. :-D

How wonderful, you made us PROUD ,

I hope and pray you will find and have much success and happiness along this new path you have decided to take in your life. We can tell what a Special person you are, and can certainly see why you have been chosen for such a position.

I'm sure that Mosca and scaly family will be just as excited when they find out the great news, hehehehehe !

* Cleo won't tell, but just wants to throw some uro KISSES his way because she finds him irresistable. LOL

Many Blessings sent your way!

Congratulations! and yes, we are all friends here. This is probably one of the more friendly forums on the website, so I think it's okay that we put off topic stuff here sometimes. Without that, the forum would be kinda slow most of the time.

Thanks to everyone that congratulated me on my acceptance into college for next year!
