Way behind in my PhD work Life has a way of letting things get further and further away from you. It is like hoping that the oar you dropped in the water is going to float back to you but instead it heads out to the ocean. I feel that way about my PhD thesis proposal at the moment.

Last November and December, I spent quite a bit of time of putting a proposal together: Experiencing youth mental health: podcasting as a method of reducing the stigma associated with mental health difficulties. It got shredded by my committee and despite my stated wishes to substantially revise it, I have been so busy with work and family that it has sat on my desk - untouched and almost abandoned.

After all the hard work that put into the course work and comprehensive exams, it would be a real shame to abandon this project. So here is my plan.

I will submit and defend my proposal by December 15, 2008.
I will dedicate at least 10 hours a week to putting this together until it is ready to go.
