Going to this conference really sealed in the deal for me that I'm meant to be in Hudds for now. I've definitely found my niche in what I'm doing - I'm motivated to do it as well. This conference really really inspired me to do super well in my thesis. I hope to get something published as well. Meeting so many great researchers at this conference and them saying my topic is really interesting (thanks to David and Donna who propelled me to investigate the topic of plausibility, fraud and false appeals) I really really want to be a great researcher. That means a lot of hard work, and me stop being so lazy.
Some younger researchers also inspired me with how hard they work, and how passionate they are about research. Great model for me to follow after. I will work hard, and hopefully make my claim to fame somehow in my field, not a lot of research out there on my topic honestly (plausibility), which is good in a sense so that I could contribute new knowledge. I have been given a great chance to do this and I wanna do it well. Not many people get the chance to catch their dreams and I've been given it every step of the way. Starting from 5 years ago when I first wanted to get into forensic psych - I even got into John Jay, like a dream. And then here I am under the supervision of the ever-respected David and Donna (whom, a lot of researchers look up to, which makes me really proud to be under them).
I will stop wasting this opportunity away like I've been doing for the past 3 months, my thoughts were just elsewhere and I haven't been putting much effort on my thesis at all. Going to London changed everything, I'm going to work hard and do my best. God is always with me, and for that I am grateful. I want to get my research published before my viva. That's my aim. David said that if our lit review is good he'll publish it. Gawd, I really really would like to have mine published. My lit rev due on the 23rd (we all got an extension) and I'm going to put my best effort in it. This is make-it or break-it time.
