I found out this week that I was accepted to a PhD program at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. How wildly exciting! How wonderful! How worthy many, many whiskeys!
You might think I was out celebrating. You would be wrong.
Instead, I'm sitting at this computer, typing out the final words of a thesis that is due... TOMORROW. Uggggghhhh. When did life become so crowded!?
If you know me, if you're reading this, if you care enough to be a part of my life ... thank you. Thanks for moaning with me, cheering for me and celebrating my successes- big and small. As two very dear friends like to say, "You make it in life when you have the fortune to stand on the shoulder of giants." You're one of my giants.

Congratulations future doctor!
Whoa! Big congrats and very well deserved!
Thanks Liz and Jessie! I submitted the thesis at noon and, just two minutes ago, received approval on the final draft.
It feels a little anti-climactic. But still a huge huge huge relief.

Approval on the final draft??? Hard earned ...Well done!!! You've traveled the world in pursuit of the experiences adding greater undertsanding/empathy to the knowledge obtained in textbooks. Kudos to Diamond Lil!

Shannon! Congrats on this. It was great meeting you last night--I promptly found you in the comments on Taylor Street. Too bad there was too much wine and beer in boot mugs to get to hear more about your life. I look forward to reading about it in your blog :)

Enjoy your Blog and most especially sympathise with the Family of Alfredo. Its a pity.
Am a PhD researcher here in Ghana loking at Telemedicine implementation.
Brilliant blog! Now i'm a regular visitor of the website although I had a query. I'm in no way absolutely certain if it is the right site to ask, but you have no spam comments. I get comments often. May you help me...
