You may have been wondering where I've been these days. Or maybe you know me well enough not to wonder? I'm trying to graduate in May, which means I have to hustle for the next few months to finish this dissertation and get it off to my committee. I haven't had a huge amount of luck with getting participants for the study, but I'm getting closer and I hope to have enough by the time I graduate to make it a publishable study.
Mondays are really hard for me. Every monday that comes along I struggle to get going, struggle to get excited about another week where I feel like I can't get enough work done, can't find continuity to think about my research, can't spend enough time on work and family and still maintain my sanity. I've been going to bed at 8:00, partly because I am reading fiction at bedtime so I can sleep without obsessing over my research, and partly because I'm getting up at 5:30 every morning with the baby. So Mondays come along and I have to set myself up for success by re-establishing my work patterns and getting my butt in gear.
I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you, and I will try to post more, but I can't make any promises. If you know me IRL, find me on facebook and we can keep up with each other there.
smooches.
