Should have went with the African-Americans


As I sit here on a Saturday afternoon...I reflect back on the selection of my paper. If I would have chose the African-American population, I would have been done, complete, finished with this degree years ago. I've questioned myself, should I start to focus more on the ends than the means? The lack of motivation is at a monumental level, I just want to be complete.


I've just recently reacquired the services of my dissertation editor to see if she can expedite the process, we will all see. I'm willing to pay whatever to get through this, I feel like my whole life is currently on hold!

Coke on a Monday Morning...

Something about the transition from Sunday night to Monday morning that inspires me to get my stuff together. I've been up since about 11PM getting it, I don't think I'll sleep this morning (I slept during the day). It's crazy how things clear up on this day and seem to fall in line...to top it off, I bought a McD's coke so I can add to my new focus of healthy habits! My goal by Wednesday night is to complete the overhaul of Chapter 2, I need to work one section at a time...constantly..Coke, a few vitamins to focus and a RipIT!!

Seeking motivation


The organization of sources turned out great...a couple of weeks ago but I have not been able to find any motivation recently. I really need to get this going so I'm up at 5AM trying to scratch up any wave of progress that I can. Tonight...Today's goal will be um...well, I don't know. I guess it will be just to get started, so...let's get it started!
