Officially on the Home-Stretch

Yesterday marked a big success in C and M's Big Adventure roadmap. April 15 is typically a day that instills fear and dislike in the hearts of all taxpaying Americans; however, for Public Policy students at G-town, it has a whole other, more sinister meaning – the annual deadline for thesis submittal. Yup, yesterday I trekked to the Car Barn (where the Public Policy school is) to submit my thesis. While many of my classmates were frantically finishing, thanks to my advisor, I was done a week in advance. But somehow, waiting to turn it in was just as nerve-wracking.

Anyway, I left the house about 3om, ran some errands on the way and showed up at 4 to turn it in – a full hour early…

As the picture shows, the Dean of Students was gone and her door was locked! There was no one to turn it in to! Thanks to quick thinking and the help of another administrator at school, I cleverly slid it under the door (and took a picture as proof). It’s now official; I’m on the downward slide towards graduation – only 36 days to go (and 2 papers)!!

Afterwards, C came up and we met the 3 other joint MBA-MPP students for a quick beer and a sunset on the roof of the Car Barn.
World of Work, here I come!
