The moment you think your world is falling apart may just be the moment your world is coming together.

  • MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. - Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"

Out of hiatus

Posted by carolanna on June 27, 2008

I guess I’m technically out of my hiatus.  I haven’t officially turned in the thesis yet — I did at one point but I’m changing some things up now.  I know these changes are going to make it a better product and I want that.  I also REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to be completely finished.  I love saying “Oh, I’m finished”.  It lasted for about two days and it was really fun.  You could say that I enjoy being sassy.  That would be true.

So just a few more days of this hanging over my head.  I’ve got to figure out how to report regression analysis and I’m done.  See, I started out with simple correlation analyses — very elementary.   My committee member helping me with the stats wants me to use regression.  It’s a better statistical test to run and I know how to do it.  However, knowing how to run something doesn’t mean I enjoy it.  It also means I go back to a class from a year ago.  Luckily, it’s all coming back.  Whew!  Love that.  Kind of makes me feel smart.  I like that feeling.

I’m half-back.  Soon enough — I’ll be all back.  Watch out world!!
