Still No Update...

I reached out to Dr. B again via email a week after I spoke with him.  I told him that a deadline was imperative as I'm going to have to take vacation days to review and rewrite.  He responds that he understands.  

So in the meantime, after almost a year away from it, I'm doing a big review on my own.  (Hmm..."almost a year away from it" - that, dear readers, is RIDICULOUS!)  

Speaking of ridiculous, the weather in the Washington, DC area this week is preventing my regular business travel. If I can get myself to bed early and take on my old pre-workday habits, I should be able to put a dent in it over the next few days.

I found another resource from dissertationwriting.com:  Writing Chapter 1 - The Introduction of Your...Doctoral Dissertation...  that actually tells me a bit more on what is supposed to go into the introductory chapter.  The biggest issue is - to give a synopsis of the findings or not to give a synopsis.  I vote "yes."  And since the school is unresponsive, I think I'll be my own thesis advisor and do what I want to do.  So there.
