Well, the methods section, my least favorite of all, is officially underway. #phdlife #dissertating
Gave myself 4 hours to work on this chapter. Whatever shape it is, at the 4 hour mark I need to move on.

Learn to use Styles in Word or whichever word processor you use and actually use them! When you have to adjust, correct, or change formatting, you can fix 1 paragraph then update style to match rather than going page by page by page. #Dissertating #AcademicSky
My familiarity with APA and styles within Word has increased as I've moved along. Now I'm going back to previous chapters, putting everything together, and being annoyed with my previous self -- why did I change the margin on block quotes on both sides?! #Dissertating
More socks! I’m on a roll.
Actually, I’m just writing my dissertation and need something to do with my hands while reading/thinking 🙃 #knitting #knitsocks #dissertating #nearlydone
Writing a dissertation is truly the strangest thing because i simultaneously feel like a genius and like I know absolutely nothing. Wild. #dissertating #phd
I finally have all 5 chapters in one document, with the title. 127 pages plus the references and appendices. Editing continues. 😑 #dissertating
Chapters 1-4 are 104 pages without references and appendices. I'm guessing we'll add another 25-30. Sigh. #dissertating
I have a fever and a sore throat, but I still wrote 973 words today. Please, clap.

I do not enjoy the word "rejiggering" but that is exactly what I'm doing with my themes at the moment. #dissertating
Got some good actionable feedback on my chapter 4 draft and made a timeline towards final defense. We up! #dissertating
Sometimes you read a quote and know it's going straight into the dissertation.
Even more so if it preemptively addresses vague critiques that your research seems "political."
Yes, and?

Trying this out the next time I meet my advisor. Also ideal for students in the dissertation proposal stage. #ProTip

Every year I have to relearn that my work pace in the summer won't be the same as the school year. I think I'm getting the hang of it this week (half day in the office, half day outside).
