Last weekend I took a break from VIVA prep, and instead spent time with my parents for Mother\u2019s Day which was lovely. \u00a0It feels like a long time since my last post likely because a lot has happened practically and emotionally related to my postponed VIVA. Unfortunately, I still do not have a confirmed set of new examiners, nor a new date, which is disappointing. However, today I created my \u201cPath to VIVA Plan B\u201d document and feel pretty good about it. I will work the plan until the details of the VIVA are finalized and then adjust it accordingly.<\/p>\n
The other task that I completed today was listening to the final 60 minutes of \u00a0my April 27 Mock VIVA and taking detailed notes. I am so glad that I recorded it using my iPhone!! Overall, I was am very pleased with how I performed and suspect this has contributed to my positive and accepting attitude about my circumstances. There are definitely a few areas that I want to tighten up, but listening to the audio confirmed for me that I am in very good shape. My next steps, summarized on Plan B, are focused on keeping my thinking fresh and shoring up some areas so that I can be STELLAR in the VIVA.<\/p>\n
It is a beautiful spring day so I am going to do another 90 minutes of work, and then head out into the sunshine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
