Week 2

Hi new blogging group! I hope you all had a great weekend.

This camp has been a great way to force myself to set aside time to work on my dissertation. I am moving into a new house, so there it's easy to get distracted by the packing, cleaning, and organizing. But setting aside the morning for writing and the afternoon for moving has been really helpful. After this week is over, I'm going to try to stick to the same schedule.

Last week, I made progress on my first 3 chapters, and found a ton of new sources to incorporate into my literature review. 

Week 2 Goal: This week, my goal is to work on organizing and polishing chapter 4, which is my materials and methods chapter. Right now, it is a mess of copied and pasted citations and poorly explained statistics. I hope that by the end of this week, it will at least be readable. 

Today's Goal: I want to work on the statistical analyses portion of chapter 4, incorporating information from multiple sources into my own words. I hope that doing this will help me better understand the statistics of my project, which is my major weakness at this point.
