8:46 am
I woke up with determination to get this thing wrapped up. I don't know if it will happen. I'll find out more after this chapter.
I *still* don't have an outline. 
I think the problem is that there are two chapters that I feel should be combined, but I don't know if I should or not. Mixed methods writing is really painful.
But, on the plus side, the deadline for a Methods training camp is on March 1st! If I finish this chapter on time, I'm going to use the application as my reward, and go head and do it! *GLEE*!!!
Outline FIRST!
