Sorry for the lack of posts in the last couple of months. I've been trying to get my bearings with everything going on (health, paying for pills, getting a job, working on the dissertation, etc). I think I've got it now. I have a job - minimum wage, but I really like it and it is very good at keeping me on track with my dissertation. I have the day off today, but other days I need to make sure I get dissertation work done before work, since I am usually exhausted when I get home (I close pretty much every night). But it has been great for me, and I no longer feel like an unemployed bum.
The dissertation was neglected at bit at first, but now I'm really making sure I get in my dissertation time now. I see working on my dissertation as a relationship; he/she is very needy and I need to give him/her my time and best effort to make him/her a better paper. I really need to decide whether my dissertation is a he or a she and give it a name. Any suggestions?
Mundane details of my attempt to finish graduate school as well as other random things I think of when I am procrastinating
