Well, good! I'm glad you're feeling upbeat...I'm feeling better than I have in the last couple of days!

Got a phone call from Steve.

This morning, I emailed the properly formated paper to the UPS Store. They printed it up for Steve and he picked it up on the way to the Tulsa campus. He had to get it signed by the advisor before he could turn it in to the Graduate College in Stillwater. It was a gamble to even *catch* the guy on campus today and lo and behold, they met up in the parking lot! (I asked Steve "Did you tatoo 'im?" A PWH reference.)

Dr. JBY made some grumpy statements, but also said that it appeared like Steve had indeed addressed the issues he'd marked for revision. He was also pleased with the appearance of the re-format. He signed the re-format check draft and Steve called me to update, then got on the bus for Stillwater. He made appointments to meet with the other two committee members while he is there.

So today, Steve will turn in to the graduate college the signed draft for format check, the paper that shows he's signed off on the defense and he'll meet with the two committee members based in Stillwater.

Then tonight, it's back to the grindstone, dealing with any further revisions. PRAY it's not too intense!

The thing is, 2J, the way Steve is being treated is as if he had not yet done his defense.

Lordy, remind me to take the non-thesis option if I ever decide to finish my masters (which is mostly a moot point now, I have only done half the required hours at Tarleton in Stephenville)!

Great News! Since Dr. JBY said that Steve had done the revisions HE wanted, were there others that other committee members wanted? Might it be possible that they will just accept the revisions he's already done, and let it go from there? It sure would be great if he could arrive home from Stillwater with it all said and done! Now that would be some major cholesterol medicine time!!

Heh, speaking of which, a friend dropped by the other day to invite me to a Gals Party tonight. SirKit told me this morning that he'd drop me off and come pick me up in case I wanted to 'imbibe' slightly more than if I would if I had to drive myself home. I was going to ask HIM that, but he suggested first. Heh. Sounds like a fun evening!
