I think I have the grad school version of senioritis. My course this semester is more self-paced than I expected, which gnaws at the tempting edges of my procrastinating tendencies. I have got to get on the ball!

I have only three courses left before the formal dissertation course next fall, but I’m already making some preliminary steps toward my topic research, especially the literature review and methodology. It’s the methodology that is tripping me up. I know some of the things I want to explore, but trying to narrow them down into numerical hypotheses or even qualitative research questions is proving more difficult than I envisioned.

I think I will go to bed and try to think happy thoughts so I don’t have more nightmares about physical therapy beginning tomorrow morning. At least I get to see some of my favorite ladies for breakfast & prayer at our weekly Life group before my doctor’s appointment, so that will be a nice start to the morning.
