30 List: 30 Things To Do Before I Turn 30: #1 Finish my Phd

#1 Finish my Phd

Background: The road to this point has been both divergent and direct. Right now, I am enjoying the journey.

Status: I have a committee selected and a reading list drafted.

Plan of Action (POA): Send out a draft of my reading list to two of my committee members by Wednesday. Send out a more comprehensive draft of reading list with proposal by June 15^th. To do that, I need to think about the kind of written component I would like for my qualifying exams... Read. Read every single day.
