This is what I have been working towards for the past several years. All of the scholarly research, all of the data analysis practice, all of the time waiting for feedback has brought me to this moment. I thought that clicking "send" would feel like a relief, but I now feel more wound up than ever before.
I worry about not getting enough responses, let alone enough people willing to do the interviews. I am concerned that I didn't make my message clear enough. I don't know if I will get data that will be of any real value. I want something good to come of this beyond just getting me a higher degree.
I can't remember the last time that I was this tense other than the births of my children.
