Just as I expected, the Phoenix Residency was fantastic but exhausting! It didn’t help that the temperatures were in the 100’s 🙂  I met some fantastic people and got a chance to meet up with some “old friends” from the Portland Residency.

I have to admit that I was a bit overwhelmed with the prospect of the dissertation process prior to attending this residency, but really feel like I got a lot out of the information provided, talking with faculty, other colleagues, and advisors.  I am feeling like this is very do-able.
