Finally, after three months of finding time to gather data for my dissertation, finally, I was able to get the final data I needed.
I still needed to study my statistical treatment so that I could match my readings to the results I would get.
I hope I can pull this off.
I want to finish the book this year.
I hope I can do it.
Reflection:
Getting a PhD degree while you are working full-time is challenging to manage. I am not a plain faculty member, so I have many other responsibilities besides my teaching loads. I always talk about that in this blog. I am overloaded with work, and most of the time, it leads to burnout.
This burnout is unbearable most days, making me want to quit this profession. What if I am not a teacher? Will I still be this busy and tired?
What if I will shift my career?
Do you think I can do it?
These are my thoughts these days, especially when I know I cannot be given the academic rank I aspire to get for the next three (3) years of my career. I want to apply for international scholarships but luck is not yet on my side. I already had seven rejections.
Should I insist?
