Still on track to graduate in December, 2023. After my dissertation was submitted to my committee, two of the members designated as readers recommended a few changes and approved the dissertation as ready for defense. I have submitted the paperwork for department approval, after which I will be able to schedule a room for the event. I have vacation scheduled to travel to Lincoln for the defense, Christian has a ticket to fly out to provide moral support. The plan, God willing, is to drive to Omaha the day before the event to pick up Christian, then defend on June 8. It seems more real now than when I was in the middle of it. Can hardly believe I am this close to the end.
