It has been a unpredictable few weeks.\u00a0 I had to head home unexpectedly last weekend due to some family matters. Fortunately, the situation has improved.\u00a0 I have been on vacation this week, but unfortunately \u00a0there was some unexpected news at work that warranted connecting with other leaders and my team for several conference calls and monitoring my email.\u00a0 This put a dent in my plan to focus exclusively on my research.\u00a0 There have been other more minor situations to grapple with as well.\u00a0 Overall the past two weeks have not progressed as planned.\u00a0 That said, I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to provide support for my family and colleagues.<\/p>\n
Although I was not able to devote as much dedicated time to research during this\u00a0week’s vacation,\u00a0I optimized the time I had and was able to make significant progress.\u00a0 Key achievements include\u00a0completing a\u00a0detailed plan to\u00a0analyze my data, writing\u00a0several pages of my Competency Development Portfolio and\u00a0planning of\u00a0the interview stage of the research study.\u00a0 Overall, I am very pleased with my progress.<\/p>\n
It is now mid-afternoon on Friday and I am planning to take the rest of the day and the weekend off.\u00a0 I definitely need some R&R.\u00a0 I\u00a0plan to attend a film festival, play tennis, and chillax!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
