I defended in Sept and wore a funky cap and gown in Oct. I am officially Dr. DJ. But when Dr. is combined with my first name in RL makes me sound like a cheap sex talk show host, so I'll just stick to DaisyJane (or my name in RL).

And congrats on becoming Dr. DaisyJane
 
The "I should be working" comment is because WC2 and FB are often my procrastination vices when I am knee deep in work. Since I spent a lot of time in front of a computer they are easy escapes.

I know that feeling and action. Being retired makes that less of an issue for me.

Thanks. I still have a hard time believing I'm done. Often others are far more excited about the whole Dr thing than I am. I am enjoying exploring other avenues of research, teaching, and presenting that were limited in the final stages of my dissertation. Mostly because my advisor would have strangled me if I was distracted.

Only reason I'm still up and online is because I'm waiting to hear from the Kisser - he's out of country right now.

It is. One of the things I am currently working on is a presentation on "embodied worship". In other words, how do we create worship practices that better include people with profound intellectual disabilities who engage the world and the Divine in a more sensory, embodied way. Worship is often such an intellectual experience - heavy on words and ideas - that it can be quite exclusive.

WOW...that would be interesting...we used to say in our congregation that we all got more out of the Children's story time because it was usually more interactive or had actions/activity...I have always thought worship should be more than just a "lecture"
 
Hey, congratulations @DaisyJane. Completing a doctorate is no mean feat. I started dating Mrs. M while she was working on her proposal, so I have seen much of the process.
