So Many Obstacles

The biggest thing about this dissertation process is keeping my mind and spirit engaged during all of the ups and downs. So... The last thing I shared with you all is that I had to re-do my IRB application and submit to my advisor. Since then I have had so many things happen. I met with my advisor so we decided to make some huge changes. I stayed up all night and made the changes and met my advisor the next morning to get his signature. We call the dean to get her signature and.... She is out for a week. So, finally after she got in town, found it, and signed it... It is now submitted and once again I am just waiting... Now a few of my colleagues have reminded me that I still have somethings I could be working on. So, that's the plan. I'll keep you posted. I have heard that this review process can take from 4 to 6 weeks. I am praying for a much shorter turn around time. Please, send your prayers and thoughts too.
