Hi All,
I proposed my diss in late 2005, after working and doing pilot research since late 2004.My project consists of two studies. One of the studies includes video data. tons and tons of it.
today I finished entering the data from analysing 9000 hours of videotape data. NINE THOUSAND! okay, I had a research assistant help me out one summer, but still! most of the work is my own. This part was the most GOD-AWFUL terrible depressing part of my graduate school career. The hardest part of this particular study is over.
Thank you for letting me toot my horn. I can't really tell my parents. Usually I'd go out with the girlfriends and get drunk, but I'm on way too many meds for that. Husband's out of town.
and so on and so forth.

p.s. I did this by working in 2 hour stretches for a couple of days in a row. Lots of the videos could be fast-forwarded. some bits had to be rewound and played in frame by frame agony...AGONY.
