Lars E. Olson, ABD

Two proposals in the space of one month would normally cause trepidation in the most fearless of hearts. And for good reason. Proposals require you to put your innermost soul on display for the unfeeling public to trample down and leave you to recover (or languish) in the solitude of your own personal prison.

And by that, I mean that my thesis proposal was accepted. There were a couple of sticking points that were criticized, and probably deserved to be, but overall they were enthusiastic about the project. Dr. Gunter even said that it was the best proposal he's seen recently. Which shouldn't be a huge surprise; after all, it's been in the oven for more than a year.

I do feel a little disappointed that Sarah still gets to become Dr. Olson before I do.

  1. Congrats. You rule! I bet that had to be so stressful and you came out of it like a champ. Way to go.

  2. The brain power coming out of the soon-to-be Olson household is just overwhleming. Two potential doctors? It's the ultimate power couple. You guys could solve world hunger...and maybe negotiate peace in the Mid-East.
