Hey guys, I was hoping everyone could join me in wishing Lindsey a big GOOD LUCK on her thesis defense tomorrow (Wednesday)! I'm really proud of you, and I know it will go well!

KDitty said...

Good Luck Lindsey!! Defend it like you are taking on a WOD and you will do great!

Aimee, is the semi-private class on Saturday or Sunday? Sunday is 2/27 so I just wanted to check. Thank you!

Mike S said...

Hey Lindsey, best of luck to you tomorrow in your thesis defense!

Aimee Lyons said...

@ Ditty- Sunday the 27, whoops..thanks for picking that up!

@ Lindsey- good luck!!!!!

Cate said...

Go Lindsey!!!!!!

Jeff said...

Good luck Lindsey, kick ass! Stay calm, and remember that you know your material 100 times better than anyone else in the room. You're gonna do great!

Jason Lyons said...

Linds:

Exactly as Jeff said. The defense is in reality the easiest part of getting a graduate degree. At that point in time, you are an expert and know more than everyone in the room. Be confident and in my experience, there is no such thing as luck...you will be fine.

Lindsey said...

Thanks everyone! :-D I really appreciate all the support - it definitely makes it seem less intimidating. I have a few hours left for some last minute preparing.

Jason Lyons said...

Linds, relax now. There is nothing that you do not know that you will learn in the next few hours. Think of possible questions and how you will answer them.

Really enjoyed this one! The front squat came quicker to me than any other first time move at Crossfit, and I was very satisfied with my numbers. Special thanks to all of you, for both my parents agree that Crossfit is helping me to improve in everything, from athletics to grades!
