PhD Progress

Well it is official, I am a PhD student! Having completed a draft of my methodology chapter last year I have moved on to working through my preliminary plan. I have also drafted the documents for the ethics process (no doubt this will be a long process as it was last time). The literature review is struggling along - the reading is the easy bit and something that I have been doing for years, but now it's time to put pen to paper. It is exciting to be underway on a project that I have been planning since I started my honours year. This year though it seems that I will mostly be doing the ground work - ethics application, application to all the agencies involved and the literature review, but no doubt this will keep me busy.
