IRB...again

I thought I did this already....Yeah, I did, but I'm at this again. Completed the IRB today and passed my CITI exam. My motivation is so unpredictable, one minute I'm all about it, the next....well, you know what happens the next. It's okay though, I feel that I'll be able to get all of this done but when is the question? It's really getting experienced. I did learn a lot today about the ethics of research, human subjects, and some historical cases. Anyhow, I'm hoping this next year will be better than the last and hopefully bring me my long awaited doctorate. This is getting...um, well...ridiculous.

My cycle is below...

Frustration Season

This is total frustration season for me in life right now, I just can't seem to get my life moving forward. I know that I have been blessed but often, I don't feel my blessings. I'm not sure if that makes sense. It so depressing every time I tell someone my doctoral woes. I've completed the entire dissertation process with the exception of the defense and then had to start all over. All of this is coming out of my pocket!!

The worst part is I feel like I'm going through the same process over and over. Add a third level headings, change indent, use this style, change back to the previous style, this methodology works best, no go back to the original. I doubt there is a standard at this institution and I'm not sure if this is the school's inability to get it together or if this derives from some scam...sigh...I don't want to quit, I've been at this for YEARS and now I'm back at the point I was at 3 years ago. Someone pray for me!
