So I originally started this blog to chart my attempt to finish my dissertation project. Well, its been several months and I have not really made much progress. Today I actually emailed my advisor and let him know I wanted to discuss my dissertation project. Now this may seem simple but I have a tremendous amount of anxiety related to my dissertation. Let me provide some background. I originally tried to defend my dissetation about nine years age. Yes , you read it right--9 years. After a relatively successful graduate school tenure, I failed my dissertation defense. MInd you I am getting anxious just speaking about it. This was unthinkable but it happened. At any rate I have made a couple of attempts to re-engage in the process of redoing the project but for a variety of reasons I have yet to complete this process. Now I can attribute this problem to several facts. Some not directly my fault but nonetheless that type of thinking is counterproductive. This issue has been like a monkey on my back. It's always in the back of my mind and quite frankly it haunts me.
Well I sent the email and tomorrow I plan to make the call to at least began discussing this issue.
