This month is whirling by so quickly. In some ways I want time to slow down and let me capture it but in other ways I want to hurry up and get August over with. There are so many things going on at work during this time of year that I feel like I'm jumping from minute to minute. With work related to my doctorate I need to slow down time!
Weekend after weekend slips by and I'm not getting my stuff done like I want/need to get done. I feel that part of me is apprehensive to begin, to jump in with both feet. It is almost like I'm worried I'll be too overwhelmed with all the information that I'll drown and not be able to find my way out.
It scares me to think about waiting until April 11 to really roll up my sleeves and get things done. I feel like I'll be spinning my wheels until then. I feel that I can't really get serious about my dissertation and proposal until after I get comps out of the way. Part of me has even thought about dropping the PhD and going for an EdD so I can get started. The "Activator" in me is ready to get busy. But is that the right thing to do?
So, should I "stay the course" of the PhD which means likely having to wait on the comps in October (2010) and April (2011) and then doing my proposal/dissertation OR should I check on dropping the PhD and going the EdD route which may mean going straight to the dissertation?
Thoughts?
