gina_r_snapeIn the put a fire under one's own arse dept. I emailed one of my dissertation committee members to set up a discussion meeting.
I also popped by my Uni to take out some books I requested from the library.
While I was there, I chatted with the admin for our dept. and she asked me "Do you want me to put your name in yellow?"
Apparently, students in the doctoral program expected to graduate within the next academic calendar year are marked in yellow. Those who have defended and are confirmed as slated for graduation are marked in red. They do this because there are some students in my program who completed their comprehensive exams as long as five years ago and never defended their dissertation proposal (in some cases, not even formed a committee).
Well, I said yes. Now I have a color designation to live up to. A nice fiery yellow.
