The past 30 days has been spent reading, memorizing and re-learning information in order to take my comprehensive exams. My PhD program has three steps to completion: coursework, comprehensive exams and dissertation. I take my exams at the beginning of next week and every spare minute has been spent in preparation….except for that nasty weekend spent with the norovirus. I could study 24/7 for another 30 days and not feel like I am ready, but here it goes regardless.

Despite being engrossed in statistics, I have still tried to keep shopping my closet and mixing price points.
