I couldn't resist including the music video in the chance that my classmates visit my blog and want to take a musical trip to 1974.
If so, how ya feelin', class? I feel pretty good since our question has been locked down and our presentation has been delivered. We came out somewhat unscathed.
And our initial proposal package has been submitted a full 24 hours before the deadline, and we have a few days to absorb the material, and take slight breather before diving back into the research project.
I think the process has been challenging, but actually kind of fun. I get caught up in the doh si doh of semantics, but with a little attitude adjustment, it's just another challenge. And through each challenge makes us better. I am appreciative of the opportunity to have my first IRB experience under the wing of an experienced researcher, and also value the perspectives of my other classmates.
Each proposal that was presented to the class was very interesting and thought provoking. I love the atmosphere of a university, where creativity and curiosity propels each student into another phase of exploration.
The overall final product is still intimidating, but I am "trusting the process" and trying to have a little fun along the way.

We will succeed. You are a kick-a** partner who is an excellent writer. Hope we get the proposal edits completed tonight and I am hoping we get irb approval very soon.
I loved the energy of your presentation. Did I see the word "fun" used as a descriptor? I know getting the research process started has it challenges, but it is also "fun" and exciting and interesting when you see everything start to come together.
IRB is our next hurdle. No freaking out until we have reason. It is a common thing to go back and forth with IRB, so...
Fun will be delayed, but hopefully we get more info this week.
