I had a good meeting with my advisor last Wednesday. I've got some direction and some suggestions on how to move forward. One such thing I'll need to do is to do a literature review of P-O fit. Ok, I can do that. I meet with him tomorrow…and I've only got a page done. Well, it is only 3:30pm; I've got until 11am tomorrow. I don't think he expects me to have it completely finished. Not sure what I'm going to say. I'll probably send him what I have and tell him not to look over it; I just wanted to show him that I am working on it.
Teaching has been eating up a good amount of my time. Not really the actual teaching part or preparing the material part. Mostly emailing students and asking for make-up exams, dealing with strange situations. Oh, and posting of things on Springboard. I really need to focus on my dissertation more – like work on it exclusively T, TH, & F. Although there are student issues that keep coming up and I like to deal with them as they come.
So I'm doing pretty well overall. Teaching is going well. They didn't seem to hate me because of the test like prior classes have been. Ended up talking to a few students after each class for awhile. Dissertation is progressing slowly, but the general forward trajectory is good, even if the velocity is slow. I'll worry about the speed later. Right now I need to focus on being consistent; working on it a bit every day, or at least 5 days a week. Even it is only one article I read, 2 sentences I write, or gathering more articles, it is progress. Progress is good.
