So...Good News! I finished my first draft of my first chapter. It's probably close to one of the crappiest pieces of academic work I have ever turned it...but, it's a start AND a start is better than nothing. Plus that start took me 22 hours to complete--22 hours to write 15 pages...yep, less than one poorly written, crappily composed page per hour. BUT, it is a full draft of the first chapter of my dissertation, and that is huge. Some people never even get that far and they spend far more than 22 hours one it. So, all in all, good news!
Also, another professor has agreed to adopt me for dissertation. He stated it was because I won't "make him dig trenches". I sure hope not, because that will mean this process is even more stressful than I am planning for.
Also, I am winding down my hours in psychological assessment, which is perfect considering the level of burnout I'm experiencing from report writing and vicarious trauma experiences.
Let's hope I can continue to just barely make it for another year and through internship and I will have made it. It feels weird to think I'm on the other side of halfway at this point. I'm past half, getting closer to done and I'm not sure to dread it or welcome it.
