This is going to be a very quick post as I have to depart shortly to do some errands. I worked feverishly until the end of December to complete two solid thesis chapters. I literally submitted them on December 31st at 730pm. Suffice it to say that I had no energy left for New year’s Eve fun and frolic!! That said it was very satisfying to end 2013 by achieving this milestone.
Although I did not take an vacation from work, I took a break from research for the first week of January. Today is my first official day back and it was slow but steady. I literally spent half the day reading all that I had written to date and then summarizing notes from two books that I had to return to the library today.
I am off next week and my focus is to read, read, read and then to simultaneously write, write, write!! I have a very rough literature review that was created in 2011 as part of my research proposal so the task ahead is to get through the stacks of literature that I have only scanned and start to write up a solid chapter. I am also going to get some advice on some CFA that I undertook in December. It is going to be a very busy week!
