Ok, first post.
Little Bit of Background: I'm a PhD Candidate @ the UArizona's College of Education. I started my PhD program @ an east coast university, but transferred to UA in 2006... sooo.... that means I've been in this program for 5 f*king years. Ugh. That further means, I've really gotta finish.
Current Status: I've got a proposal that I've been building. I'm nearly done w/a methods chapter and will shortly be moving onto a findings chapter -- this is THE most progress I've made in awhile. Thank God for SOME progress -- largely due to acquiring the services & sage advice of a private dissertation coach. Yup, it came to that. $130/3 sessions! It's not cheap, but I have high hopes it'll be worth it. I want OUT!!!
This Tuesday I have a meeting with my dissertation committee. I am hoping that it will go well. Well = no suggestions for ANY major changes. Well = approval of what I am currently doing & plan to do. Well = green light to proceed as is.
Subsequent posts will not provide much background at all. I'll just be jotting down thoughts on my activities/progress, as this record is really for my own purposes & motivation.
This purpose of this blog is to document my regular dissertation progress. Why document online? Because the internets are currently more compelling than paper and pen. My dissertation completion motto? Like this pigeon, I will not be deterred.
