I suppose I ought to be more faithful to this blog and update more often (I tend to update my "other" blog a lot more frequently).
So, what's there to update about my lonely dissertator's life?
It's been frustrating and scary and exciting at the same time. Frustrating in that I want to spend all of my time focused on designing my dissertation proposal but I can't. Life gets in the way. Scary because my dissertation looks like it's going to be a heckuva major project that has never been done before. Exciting because if I can pull this off, it will result in a real contribution to the field--it may even be a landmark study.
My advisor (my new advisor, that is) told me today that there is safety in the committee. If they feel like I've taken on more than I can chew, they can sometimes redesign the whole thing and make it a lot more simple and d-o-a-b-l-e.
Doable. That would be nice.

I think in times like yours, it would be a good idea to know how to manage time properly. That way, even if you are working on your PhD dissertation, you can still have time for other things that you like to do. It would be good if you’re working on a fulltime job. Anyway, what happened to your dissertation?
