Hello, all. I know I haven’t updated in a while. Long story. To give a short description of that long story… I found out a while ago that a researcher had just left Indonesia who had completed a year and a half of research on basically my exact topic. I mean her research themes pretty much matched my proposal dead on. Sigh. She was very nice and I’m glad if someone is doing the topic, who isn’t me, it is someone who seems to care a great deal about the topic and the people. So that’s good… What’s not so good is I have to completely change topics.
As for me I’ve been researching up and down to make sure the new direction I take is the right one and NOT ALREADY BEING DONE. Sigh again. I really want to make sure it’s not only a topic I can do justice in the time I’m here but one I’m also passionate about. So it’s been a journey. So many emotions. So many articles. So many paths I could go down.
So that is why I have been absent. I’ll start up again soon but I still have lots to think about first. Then I’ll share some stories. There are some really good ones in there, so don’t worry.
There eyre have been many struggles but many laughs and good moments as well. Also, I purchased a giraffe to make me feel better.
