There have been a few setbacks in my Ph.D. journey, but I hit one of the biggest to date.
I don't want to get into specifics, because I really do believe that it is not very beneficial for me to complain at this point, esp. on a blog (I assure all of you, I have confided in friends). The long and short of it, I am not going to "walk" at Princeton Seminary's 2004 graduation. My committee wants me to work more on my diss. This came as a bit of a surprise needless to say since until about a week ago, most of the feedback from my committee assumed that I would finish with revisions by March. I will graduate this year, but will not defend in enough time to "walk."
I really DO believe that my committee wants the best for me and my work. Still, I'm disappointed and angry. I have to let it go though so that I can get to these revisions.
Keep praying folks. It looks like resurrection and Easter may come a little late for this Ph.D. candidate.
