Oh data collection!

I am happy to report that my data collection will be complete as of next Thursday!  Between the IRB and competing demands, it has taken a while to get things moving again, but moving they are.  I ran analyses on my archival data, too, so I am well on the way to the write up phase.  Granted, all the transcription, coding, and qualitative analysis must come first... Still, YAY!  No, not all PhD candidates are this geeked out by this phase, I just have such a short timeline... moving in 8 weeks, still need to finish packing and have a yard sale, transfer the kids school info to the new community, etc.  SO I am celebrating this one tiny but important development, because I need to re-energize.  How to celebrate?  Liberal amounts of chocolate and dancing around the living room with the kids.  That makes any day amazing.
