This post is going to be really short. I met with my supervisor on Wednesday. Based on her feedback I realized that revisions to my research methodology thinking and approach was required. As a result, I did something that I haven’t done since my undergraduate degree. I asked for a one week extension!! Sounds trivial, but my tendency and preference would have been to rush in order to meet the deadline. Instead, I decided to give myself the time to completed the revisions in a leisurely fashion.
This was harder than it sounds because I really wanted to have today off and can be quite anal about deadlines. Nonetheless, it was a great decision. I have just finished a 6 hour stint at the library and my paper is in a very good place. I will do final edits tomorrow and submit by early next week. It is not ever yet, but I feel good about the process and the product.
