IRB

So, I'm to the point where I'm going to resubmit my IRB (Institutional Review Board) Application. Funny thing...I reviewed the form originally submitted July 2008 and it made me kind of sad. I can't believe that it's been that long. Nonetheless, this is part of the process and I'm kind of frustrated in general. I'm sure it's more so due to the holiday season, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm totally, unequivocally, without doubt...not excited or planning on doing or going anywhere BUT, school doesn't stop. That has been a constant. I'm using human subjects, so I need to ensure that I'm following protocol.

With all that being said, I feel like my head is shrinking, not sure why or what that means, but that's how I feel for now. So, the game plan for tonight is to complete this IRB form, read the protocol and submit. I'm sure I"m one of the few tonight actually doing work as the rest of the world is with their family, preparing for dinner, or on the road to see their loved ones. I just pray and hope that someday this evolves to something. I can't imagine (but look forward) to the day when this is all a part of my past!

Yes, I really do look weird and unusual like this ^^^ Hope all enjoys their holidays!
