Another semester is behind me. It's May and I'm enjoying a few weeks without writing assignments and due dates. I have registered for, what I hope to be, my last two classes! I have written a fairly decent draft of my prospectus and will meet with my co-chairs next week to discuss it. By the end of summer, I will have met with my entire dissertation committee to present the prospectus and will be ready to work on the proposal. One step at a time . . . progress is being made.
My home library is growing. I recently purchased two more gaming books. There are so many more I wish to own, but it's hard to find the time to read them while I'm still taking classes. All my printed articles have been alphabetized and I'm going through them all now to make sure they have been added to my RefWorks account and then added to Nvivo. It's a slow process because I missed a good many, but once I'm done, it will help tremendously when I'm writing my dissertation.
May is a month to rest, play in the garden/yard, waste time watching television, and visit friends and family. It's also a time to regroup, organize, clean-up, and get ready for these last two classes. Honestly, I'm not excited about the topics at all, but unless I was willing to wait until the fall semester, I didn't have much choice. I had to take what was being offered. It's two months worth of work. Just two months!
Then . . .
NO MORE COURSEWORK!
Keeping my eyes on the prize ahead!!
