At the end of July I actually presented my dissertation proposal to my committee of three counseling faculty and my husband. It was a boring 2 hour long proposal, which I will amend greatly during my defense, but I got done....and approved!
My next step should've been working on the IRB, but my job started up again. Everyone knows how difficult it is for a School Counselor and Teacher at the beginning of a new school year. Adding the stress of a looming IRB deadline was a bit much, so I focused on getting the school year off to a good start. Now it's September and time to crack down on the IRB. I was at lease able to check two more items off the list!
Happening this week: ordering my Official TTU ring!
