It is 11pm and it has been a grueling week. I spent very long days at the library for most of the week and did not make as much progress with my writing as I had hoped. That said, I worked very hard and the outcome was about 9500 words and 8 Appendices.
I hope to complete my Data Preparation and Analysis Part I by the end of this week, and have already finished my Abstract, and Introduction Chapter. I am planning to get feedback on these draft documents from my supervisors and also from the attendees of my final colloquium for 2013. The location has changed from the US to Europe, so I will be attending via Skype, the colloquium is in two weeks so I am also focused on final preparation of my presentation.
I have added a thermometer in my home office to chart my progress. This was a very good addition and will help me see the progress throughout this LONG final leg of the doctoral journey.
I have decided to take the weekend off. I deserve a break!!
