Dissertation proposal, conference proposal, publications

writing this entry from the library at FIU - BBC

So this week my goal is to get my chapter 3 completed and boy oh boy is everything else getting in the way of that progress.

This morning I also tried to go through email and well that reminded me that I needed to decide what conferences I was submitting proposals to....Well I have decided that I am submitting to at least 5 conferences this year and yes if I get accepted then I will attend.
1. AERA
2. AAACE - already submitted
3. AHRD
4. NASPA
5. FIU COE-GSN conference

Wow I figured this has to be the year of productivity and I am ceasing the opportunity to make it just that.

I am also going to turn those papers or presentations into papers by the end of 2013....
Current publications ideas include:
1. Case Study: Female Jamaican Immigrants and their Experiences with Conflict in the U.S. Workplace
2. Conflict in the Workplace: Technology and Conflict Management
3. Social Axioms: What HRD Professionals should know
4. Examining the link between Job Satisfaction and Job Performance

Then I also have two book reviews that need to be completed hopefully by December. One is actually due in July.

So yes as you can imagine I have a busy month ahead of me and I am up for the challenge.

CVs trip transaction 1 6/15

So the deal was awesome and it was also my first trip in which I actually paid $22.92 for $110.00 worth of stuff.  So as you know the coupon machine was giving 10 off 30 for Gillette products last week so 3 of those and one 5 off 20 coupon, some coupons for the p& g saver.from earlier this month and last month..and I got all these plus I got 7.00 back in ecb bucks...so really all these only cost me $15.92

Planned day of writing ...cancelled

So todays goal was to leave at 9 & find somewhere to write....maybe finish my chapter 2 edits. Alas this has not happened. Instead I cleaned tge closet out in my sons room and started getting things together for our upcoming trip to Jamaica.

Yeah we are heading to Jamaica for a month...hopefully I will be able to get two solid Weeks of writing out of that trip.

Anyway, I really need to go start dinner....and get some more laundry done.

p.s this is my first blog entry from my phone.

Save on Dole Smoothie Shakers!

So this is my first post on my couponing! This past week I did good saving at CVS so this post is about my first go at Publix.


To get this deal you need:
1. The Summer Savings Coupon Book from Publix 
2. Go into Publix and in the freezer section there are coupons for the Dole Shakers above (you need 2 for the deal)


So here is what it will break down for...
- $1.99 each
- Coupon from Summer Savings Book (front page) - Save $1.99 on 2
- Use 2 of the manufactures coupon (.55 cents each)


This means you will pay .45 cents for each.


I say stock up if you can this is an awesome deal...plus the drinks are only 90 calories each. 

ACPA coming up

Well this might be my last ACPA for a while as I am going to be focused over the next two years on finishing my doctoral degree. But I do get to enjoy this one....I will be doing two presentations next week......

Other than that spent the last two weeks reading research and yes I still have more research to read so I can get this chapter 1 done at least then I know Chapter 2 will be easier if there is such a thing....

First blog from phone

So I am looking for different things to hold me accountable over the next two years as I write my dissertation. I figure if I have to blog weekly about my progress then maybe it will help me make sure I have something to blog about.

This week I made the first step to looking at a topic that might just very well become my dissertation topic.....more on that next week.
