What a crazy week! Up early today to write some end-of-term papers and get a start on the day. So much to do and so little time to do it. Our cohort is close to finishing our third semester, and I am starting to feel as if there is in fact a way to balance life, work, and the PhD program.
Looking at our semester (five classes), I would have to say it has not been an easy ride. I have been reminded that the PhD is not a degree that will be easy. The rigorous standards are the journey that you are encouraged to embrace and enjoy. The challenges that I have faced this semester have helped prod me along to my dissertation topic in virtual leadership. Understanding that it takes some time to all fall into place, I am feeling better now about moving forward with this topic. Looking around me, I am starting to see the importance of this research and its “timing” on what is going on in society and our global community.
I must remember that it is a long race and pace is important. We are almost half way done with the program! Now the focus is on the end of the semester. Those last couple miles….that will be the challenge….
