Rae La Soul

I knew quite some time had gone by since my last update, but it didn’t register with me that it has been almost two months. I never intend for that much time to pass, but when I’m focused on something, priorities shift as needed.

A lot has occurred within the last few months that have contributed to this shift. The death of a relative led me to visit my hometown. I don’t often visit my hometown, because there’s nothing there for me, but this visit seemed different. It left me motivated, something I prayed to God I would feel again soon.

This motivation led to me picking up my thesis again. I’ve been really busy with work during the day and completing a thesis at night. For the past two years, I’ve ignored it simply because I lacked the motivation and discipline to complete it. My previous place of employment had me so depressed and apathetic when it involved accomplishing a lot of my personal goals. Looking back, I wish I could have found ways to push through all of that, but it is what it is. I’m more than grateful for the surge of momentum that put me on a week long writing binge that led to completing the first whole ass draft of my thesis. Futhermore, it has me reconsidering further education past my master’s again. I’m 63% sure I want to pursue my SMED Ph.D. We’ll see.

I’ll be updating here with a REAL post soon. LOL! And hopefully that’s to share that my committee has finished reading my thesis, I’ll defend within a few months, and graduate in December.
