Topic approved

After a few months struggling with topic refinement and summary, it's finally approved! Right now, am knee deep in my literature review; it's tough because the theory is rather complicated, and not much work is done in that area. I hope to get it to a somewhat acceptable state by end of the year. I am hoping to defend my prospectus by then.

Ramadhan is here and I think it's the perfect time to get some work done, especially after iftar. But I have to admit, some days are better than others. I am still trying to be disciplined and put in a consistent amount of work everyday, but that doesn't always happen. :-P

I am rather homesick and really wanting to close this chapter of my life as soon as possible.
