Quick Update
As the Dissertation deadline for submission draws closer and closer, I realize more and more that I have NO IDEA what I'm writing about. I have a general idea as to the topic and I understand some of the more basic, broad things that I am reading in these articles (all for my intro), but for every 1 thing I read that I understand, there must be 5 more that I have no idea what the hell is going on. I have resigned to just pretend like I know what I'm doing, keep writing a bunch of random words down on paper, and hope for the best.
One things for sure - I'm definitely not going into research.
