So DH found out that 2nd job probably won't work out. This totally screws my budget, but does give me a good motivation to work hard on my dissertation. I want to defend my proposal by December 9 so that I can get a pay raise. So here are the basic goals:

September - Read to saturation in the two main theories I'm using
October - Write at least 1 page a day until finished
November - Revise my paper
November 23 - Email my paper to my committee
December 9 - Defend my proposal

I'm hoping I'll work hard enough and write fast enough to push up the final 2 deadlines so I'm not doing everything at the very last minute. Still I'm really pumped now to work hard. All right enough reflection, time to read some more Vygotsky!
