And today I am doing the hardest thing of the research that is literature review. Oh, have I mention that I have to manage my emotions and expectations at the same time. Will I able to submit by September? Will I be able to graduate? What will my father say about me not finishing within two years (and I am in my 2.5 years)?
It kinda sucks because for some parts, I have to redo, narrow and vomit out again. But this time, I am clearer, I hope. :p
The good thing now is I am able to process the tough theories a bit better. It’s often a challenge to start it, but I have finally learnt how to read tough materials properly. I am able to narrow down sufficiently using the Dr Guy’s version of purpose statement.
After my discovery of different perspectives of research from different scholars, I joked with my husband that maybe I have the intelligence like a phd candidate, but emotionally like a kid.
Ok, to take a short nap and continue with my process later.
