ABD mon amour

that's it, i'm done with the damned prospectus!!!!! yeah!!!

ok that was way too easy... talk for a little more than an hour... tell the same things i've already told margie 20 times... explain a few concepts... blah blah... i really expected something harder. plus no one cares to read my chapters until margie's approved them, so basically i won't have to deal with 200 different comments on the same thing, one person asking me for more details and the other to be more concise.... huhu...

kiara said abd meant allowed to be a doctor... huhu... so nice :) i'll remember that one!

told margie i won't work on the damn thing during the break, i'm burned out!

i need to:
- work with the IRB
- finish TQ's article
- learn to use SAS
- find participating schools
- find translators
- work on my questionnaires
- start the lit review
- etc. etc.

DOES IT EVER END???

What really happens is that you have to wait for Margie to approve the chapters before those people complain about what they think is wrong with them. My guess is that you'll generally be dealing with line editing.

Just remember, the proposal is the easy part. Now you might consider how you will write a research statement and how you will summarize your dissertation in two minutes to a job search committee.

Take a break to celebrate though, you do desserve it !

kiara, were you born with all this energy or did it come to you one day? if so, what did you do to find it? is it genetic? is it chemical? is it purely mental exercise?

Thing is, one day you wake up and think: I've got to fight my lazyness ! So you do it once, and then you feel great, so you want to carry on doing it, coz it's great to feel great. And then you become addicted...
