I will be starting my 3rd year of graduate school this coming September and I'm determined to document my (hopefully) last two years of this turbulent, but... interesting journey towards a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
It is currently 12:37am and I have a meeting with my dissertation chairperson in about 12 more hours to update him on what the heck is going on with my research. I plan to propose by October, but I may have bitten more than I can chew. It's been three weeks of literature reviewing and my brain is SO OVER this. Like, there's a point where I don't even remember what the point of my study was. I went in with a plan and still got completely lost! Who does that? Dissertation researching/writing is such a DRAGGG and the worst part is that you got to motivate yourself to do it. There's no class on it or a professor giving you a grade. That's YOUR very own project to contribute into the world of (whatever your field is) and YOU'VE got to schedule your own time to make it awesome because it's your breakout moment in the world of academia. No pressure, right?
Anyways, a colleague of mine showed me a book he recently published. It was based on TEN years of research. TEN. I guess there is an end to all this, I just hope it takes me half as long to get there (give or take one or two publications along the way... I dream big.)

Alright, so there you have it. Riveting, I know. Stay tuned for more graduate school fun.
