Just finished the introduction to SUCCEEDING OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY. Excited to read the rest. It seems like having 14 informational interviews in a book. πŸ“š

I woke up with a migraine today. I’ve had enough caffeine that it’s significantly receded but now I’m SO AWAKE. I would normally read a book but I’m waiting to get new ones from the library tomorrow, so I think I’ll try some comics.

Do I know anybody who works in youth services in the Wake County Public Libraries? If you do, will you let me know? Mind if I message/email you with some questions?

I may have added, um, 40 pages (mostly quotes and tables) to my findings chapter in revision…

Okay. I finished pulling quotes from the last interview. I was like, “Cool! Time to move on to the justification writing!” and my body said “Hold on there, Kimberly.” So I’m going to have a bit of a liedown.

Only one interview left to pull quotes from for my findings chapter and then I can move on to the part where I justify my data analysis decisions. Dissertating is mentally tiring work, y’all. It feels like the closer I should be to done the further the horizon stretches away.

OKAY. I finished pulling quotes from that giant and awesome interview. Three more interviews left to pull quotes from, then some writing up of my data analysis rationale and some definitions…

It’s a good day for lying on a hammock and listening to an audiobook. πŸ“·
