The title pretty much sums up what I've been doing the last few months. I read blog posts by those who are ever so much better at articulating their thoughts than I am. Plus I've been busy in lab. Things haven't been going as well as I'd like with my research so I've been down a lot but carrying on. One good thing that's happened is this year is that I have completed my coursework for the program so it's all research from here on out. I need to take my qual and I'm pretty much paralyzed with fear. Need to actually write the proposal and study some concepts. I know that I need to do it but actually doing has been a bit of a challenge. I've got the ball rolling by talking to my committee members about dates which work for them so that's step in the right direction. Hopefully, I can keep the momentum going. Otherwise I can kiss this place goodbye. Trying to stay motivated in the face of adversity is a skill I have yet to master but I'm definitely working on it. My faith that I'm here for a purpose which He will ultimately accomplish helps me get through the worst days.
What works for you?
Dee
