A fan of Douglas Adams, join me as I contemplate my life, the universe, and everything.
I now understand why people dole out the advice of writing something for your dissertation every day. It is absolute agony to be confined to writing all day long when you could be writing in short bursts and then setting it aside for a fresh look another day. Plus, you'll never write a dissertation the weekend before it is due. ;)

This blog has chronicled my development as a graduate student in Educational Psychology. I have recently joined the professoriate. Will the nature of this blog change? I surmise that every stage of life requires growth, and perhaps this blog will reflect the growth I hope to enjoy as I navigate this new stage of life within the ivory tower.

hmmmm. Sounds like Kiki is having a little TOO much fun... ;0) Amen to the writing bit - that's what we were always told about practicing music, also - even a mere 10 minutes a day is far better than putting it off 'til the last minute. Seriously - we grow up surrounded by this concept.
So why, oh, why is it SO much easier said than done!?!?
That said, I'm going back to work, too, but don't enjoy yourself too entirely much and let me know when it's margarita-o'clock!
Good luck!!!
I think I know why...it's because I'm a procrastinator by trade. In fact, I'm procrastinating by blogging instead of working on the paper. Yeesh! This whole daily writing think is really going to be hard for me. But, I must do it! And yes, it will be margarita-o'clock as soon as I'm done writing this thing!!
