Grade and comments are in on my thesis
My thesis director shocked me today when she sent an email with the grade and comments! I expected to pick up her notes this week from my final revision and hand it back to her next Wed. for a grade and get the comments in a few weeks. So, this was all out of the blue.
As I was checking my Harvard email, her message popped up. I am thrilled – I got an A. Her opening note in the formal comment section is:
This is one of the best ALM theses I have had an opportunity to read and grade.
OMG. Wow. Frankly, I’m not one to blow my own horn, but this is worth an exception.
I am about to be a Harvard alum. Finally. After four years of work, writing, research, exams, money, time, sweat, and occasional bouts of uncertainty (in my own mind, I admit; my family has had full confidence in my abilities all along).
This kind of validation doesn’t happen too often. Even though I’ve been an A student all along with a 3.8 cum but still…this is fabulous.
This has been a great week! First two job offers; one I accepted. Now this. Life is very good right now.
