Summer Work

So somewhere between finishing up the introduction, writing the formal proposal, proposing to my committee, and submitting to the IRB, I forgot to update.
     Everything has been approved as necessary, which I am very excited about. This means that I can begin data collection first thing in the fall as soon as the SONA research participation pool opens for the semester. Another bonus is that I will be able to run multiple participants simultaneously if lab space allows. I'm very relieved to hear this, and am eager to begin collecting data.
    It is strange to me that a year of graduate school has flown by. This leaves me with just one more year, and while part of me is ready to spread my wings and experience the work force, another part of me feels like time has gone too fast and there's a feeling of nostalgia surrounding the idea of graduating.
     So the plan for the next couple of months includes: setting up the survey account for data collection in the fall and finishing revisions on my introduction/methods section as necessary. More updates to follow.
