First proper interview set up, second in the pipeline.
#phd #academicsky

The first ten credits in the books!
Working full time and doing a PhD is possible, for me at least. Ten credits, three rounds of open source text analysis on the first year. Interviews in the works, waiting for responses from the subjects.

Interviews! The first request has been sent. Aiming for 10 from the first organisation, then 20 across the following orgs. as they are not equivalent.
Hands shaking.

Today is a seminar day. Getting to hear from my peers what they think of my literature review, theory, and the methods chapters.

The wait is over.
The supervisors quite liked what they saw. Onwards, said the granny in the snow!

And while the wait is doing it’s thing, I’ve got new ideas on how to structure the theoretical frame for the PhD.

Hmmm.

The wait. The wait for the PhD supervisors to have their say.

Of to the races!
Interview questions coming up for the next supervisor meeting. How to use the same question set for two different groups? That is the question, for now.

Out of interest, how do you position your research if the available literature is severely limited in the field you study?

Lit review ver. 1 sent to supervisors.

First credit down. Second waiting for assessment.

On Tuesday the battle begins! First seminar for the PhD studies.

And the bosses said, congrats!

In the beginning, there was a dad. He had done his MSc while working full time.

A week ago he got in to a PhD program.

Today he needs to tell his bosses that he got in to that program, and that he plans to keep working full time while doing the PhD.
