Done with report 2

Had my progress report meeting last Tuesday. As I feared, they questioned my small number of subjects and suggested (ordered) that I should collect more data. It made me feel demotivated but I got used to the idea. Now, as I can't start working with my data, I will spend a few months finalizing my literature and methods chapters. But I wonder when I'll find the motivation to start working again. I'm in that lazy stage.

If you don't hear from me for a while, you know why.

Progress report 2

Ok, I have a dissertation that keeps growing. This Tuesday, I'll present my 2nd progress report (hoping that the 4th one will be my defense and I'll be done with that). I made a presentation for Tuesday and am more or less ready to tell my jury about what I have achieved so far.

After the report, I'm planning to continue working on the literature review as it still requires a lot of work. I don't want to start working with my data yet.

All good so far. See you when I have some progress!

Before the 2nd progress report

Still writing the literature review...today I finally started working on the methodology chapter. But it takes more time than I thought. I will keep working on finalizing a section in the lit review and methodology chapter tomorrow. On Tuesday, I'll see my professor and get his feedback before I make copies for my jury. Next Tuesday I'm gonna submit my 2nd progress report.

Looking back, I achieved most of what I planned after the 1st report except that I haven't finished the lit review. I came to believe it will never be done. I still and will always hate writing lit reviews.

Have I told you I gave my post-test last week? My data is almost complete except the follow up test which I'll give sometime in the second semester.
