The
other day one of the 1st year PhD students asked me how much time do
I spend per day/week on my PhD. I told him it is different now than when I was
a 1st year. Back then I did TONS of reading research, writing my Bibliography Review, and prepping for
my future research projects. Now I am:
·
Almost
done writing my paper on the comments section of the instructor survey
·
Writing
the appendix of my thesis/dissertation (depends on what country you live in)
·
Waiting
for my committee to finish reviewing my hand placement project so I can revise
and submit for publication
·
Need
to start editing the video to send to the judges
·
Finish
analyzing data on Dartfish
·
Start
writing my submission for the IADMS conference, deadline March 1st
·
Recruit
dancers for my LAST project by going to practice sessions, competitions, and
bugging them on facebook (I only need 4 more couples)
·
Arrange
with Dr Wyon, Doug, and Jim to have the Black Box prepped and get all the
equipment I will need before next week to collect data (I have 2 couples
scheduled) and request to have the heat turned on in the lab (yeah for some reason I actually have to request this, bizarre!)
·
And
I submitted my corrections for my female survey to the JDMS today
This
doesn’t include all the things I do during the day/week that are not about my
PhD. (House chores, church callings, looking for a job, completing Dave’s visa,
plan for the family vacation in May, helping Amy with her mission application,
fertility dr, feed the missionaries, take a shower, think about dying my hair
before job interviews, save money for move back to America, dentist, make sure
Dave buys a new coat next month, invigilating, writing a blog post, make sure we have the flat
spotless before we move back to America this summer, read scriptures/listen to
Mormon Channel, how can I motivate Dave to clean the 2nd bedroom
before I go crazy and throw out all his stuff, etc, etc)
Hope
that helps kid!
