Inquiry Question

I am starting to feel the pressure of completing the research paper. Although I am at a comfortable spot to start reading the research, I am afraid that I won't be able to get it done in time. I appreciated Tina's comment today, "if it wasn't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done." This is how I have survived academia thus far so I guess I'll get it done in time.

  1. I am where you are too. So maybe I'm not behind after all!

  2. I used to fight the whole last minute thing and pretend that I really would do all the work leading up to it. Now that I am in my 50's I know how it works. I embrace it and have learned to deal with it with as little stress as I can. Remember that we are all overachievers and good at what we do. That will get us a long way.

  3. Well stated Tina. I've always tended to put too much stress on myself. Maybe that's why I try so hard not to transmit stress to my students.

  4. So true...but it is more difficult with this method. Blog some of your paragraphs, and we can help through written comments to you.

  5. I'm beginning to get paranoid as well. I still haven't decided on an inquiry question yet! I hope I feel better soon so I can concentrate on this project :)
