For the past year, I have struggled with narrowing down my topic for my dissertation to a more manageable piece. I also have the procrastination gene so getting things done quickly and efficiently without having someone else that I am accountable too is so hard for me.

In enters PA. She is also working on her PhD and we have the same advisor so we can definitely help each other out. What’s even better is that we don’t live that far from each other so we can meet after work.

Now that I have someone else to work with I have started making progress. I’ve narrowed down my topic, figured out what is out of scope and I’m currently working on two papers to submit for conferences. Even though this PhD is idependent research, it’s just great to have someone else to sit in Starbucks with and complain to when the mood hits. 5 months ago

The IRB hold-up is over, and I am finally approved for data collection! I’ve already begun collecting, in fact, and it is scheduled to continue through the beginning of spring semester.

Once I have all the data, analysis must begin…

Progress, though! I am moving closer toward the finish line. :) 6 months ago

Super excited and chuffed to say that my application-proposal for my PhD has been handed in! 7 months ago

Need to get more work done in these areas.

IRB approval for the research needs some tweaking, but it’s under way. My university is stricter than most, so it can be a real hassle.

Spent some time last night getting some work done on the website design for data collection. MUCH more work to be done still. I need to make serious progress in the next 2 weeks! Wish me luck… 8 months ago

Just finished my IRB training. It expired later this month, so I went ahead and did a refresher course so I would remain in good standing with respect to my dissertation research activities. So that is something I no longer have on my plate! 8 months ago

I have been dragging my feet with respect to the dissertation. Hopefully 43Things will help me progress at a nicer pace. I have reached candidacy, so all that’s left is to gather the data, analyze, and finish writing the dang thing.

Today I have been working on getting my IRB forms and required extras ready for submission. Hopefully hopefully I will get it all done so I can drop it all off tomorrow morning! 8 months ago

I would like to obtain a PhD in Psychology where my focus would be either HIV neuropsychology, Addiction, or Language (mainly spoken language). Right now I am trying to narrow these broad topics down to help me approach potential supervisors. In addition, I will need to come up with funding from somewhere. 8 months ago
