Dissertation update

Here is the latest update on my dissertation. I have passed my proposal defense, which means my committee approved my first three chapters, with only minor revisions. I am now collecting data and hope to write my final two chapters in the coming weeks. My deadline for completion is April 15. This will allow me to participate in commencement, May 9 and 10, 2008. I am praying for a miracle.

Here is some useless data from my proposal:

It is 71 pages long with appendices. It contains 17,973 words. I have spent roughly 8623 minutes working on it at my computer, which is about 143 hours. This does not include research time or writing away from my computer.

Please pray for me to finish everything by April 15. Thanks.
