This isnt then actual picture but I had an accident about a month ago in a parking lot where a lady walked out from between 2 cars and into the spot where I was pulling in. She wasn't hurt very much but the sound and the sight of it is something I think about all the time and its hard to get past.

Day 17

I don't have a picture of my biggest insecurity because it a fear of always being alone!

Day 6

Day 16 - A picture of you and your friends.  I am going to skip this day. I don't have any pics of me and friends.

This has been a rotten day for me. The IRB rejected my proposal because the individual I was working with at the organization that had agreed to participate in my study 1 year ago did not get legal authority and when I asked for it she decided to remove them from the study. Why would someone lie about something so important? If she didnt have authority she should have told me and not wait until the very last minute to tell me and waste my time.

OK I am done venting. Back on the internet and the phone trying to find another organization that would assist me with my study.

This is from my trip to Phoenix for 3rd year residency. This was last year but it was such a life changing time for me and these people pictured with me have helped me on my journey to complete my doctorate!

My doctoral journey

So after 13 years in school I feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I received approval from the ARB (Academic Review Board) within 3 days which is phenomenol.

After 3 weeks the IRB (Institutional Review Board) rejected my proposal with approval based on 4 corrections. So my corrections are done and I am ready to re-submit. Hopefully I will get approval and I can move on to Chapter 4 and 5 and my goal of being a doctor!!

So for my pre-graduation present to myself I bought this last nite:::::
