The Aftershock....

Well...my mock dissertation defense has come and gone...and I survived!  It was a very enlightening process and my committee was wonderful.  They really helped me get a better handle of my own research question and also guided me to better resources and literature.  Together, we ironed out the methodology and data collection process so even that looks tighter.  I won't lie...this mock defense has left me with a lot more work, but at least now I know where it is all leading to!!!
