And so I enter the age of blogging.
This is the year I will write my dissertation. That's right. It is my absolute intent to finish my doctoral disseration this year. So, by next August I will be done with my dissertation. The more I say it the more I commit to my dissertation being done in a year, which would be next August, 2009. So, by then I will finish my disseration, go on to internship and, finally, be awarded my PsyD.
Kind of a weird time to start a blog, considering I should spend all my writing time working on ... my dissertation. But I have a feeling I may need another writing outlet along the way.
I was supposed to start the project today, and in a way I did, because I wrote a very short paper of tangential merit. But I feel so uninspired. Suddenly my beloved topic seems boring. Suddenly I lack all focus.
Hence this blog. Next: my topic.
About Me
- DebPC
- I am a fifth year grad student getting a PsyD, which is a PhD in clinical psychology. I have successfully defended my disseration, a pilot study which used yoga and a discussion group to (successfully) treat binge eating disorder. I am now doing my internship, working with people on probation (mostly felons) who have to be in therapy as a condition of their release from prison. I also work with people who have gotten their children taken away by DHS. My specialties are eating disorders and using yoga to treat psychological issues. Finish internship and then I'm a real doctor. I have four cats, two daughters, ages 8 and 11 and one husband, aged 44. I love to run (especially marathons), bike, do yoga, x-c ski and lift weights. I live in the mountains in Colorado.
