This week I continued to study the Salas study. I completed reading chapter 3 and now I am close to completing the findings. With each chapter I am gaining more information and ideas about how I can develop my study. I have about another 80 pages to go to finish reading the study and I will work to do that by the end of the this week. I am targeting December 1st to put this study to rest and start my own. I spent about 4 hours total this week reading.

This week I continued my reading. I am now reading deep into the research design. This is very exciting as Salas is using Narrative as her method of inquiry. I hope to get through the entire dissertation this week. I did not get as far as I would have liked because of family but I did progress and I will work hard to complete this week because I am ready to start the dissertation process.

I did not progress this week. I spent the weekend in Houston working on securing our new home there. I thought I would be able to squeeze in my set time on Saturday to work on my dissertation but I was unable to find an opportunity.

I spent four hours this week continuing my reading of the Salas dissertation. This week I nearly finished the literature review which gave me a few hours about how I might approach developing my literature review. I should complete the reading of the dissertation this week and I will be ready to begin the process of starting my work. I had mentioned to Farzin what I was thinking about doing for a dissertation and he suggested that I read these 2 studies to determine if this was the kind of study I was thinking about. These 2 studies have convinced me to proceed.
