Driving in the dark - But I'm driving forward I think

Like IDD, a whole lot of upfront thinking, planning and analyzing. I was lost in that course in the beginning and was able to focus and survive. In fact I'm basing my thesis on most of what I learned and developed in that course.

With that said, had a bad week moving forward. Even though I'm using the same material and lesson, it is at a complete different angle - proving the methodology through research. I started finally doing some research queries only to be feeling like that drive down a secluded highway with no map. And to boot, the government shut down, I was unable to go to the ERIC site and research there, where the text suggested a good start. Am looking forward to class tonight to get some guidance and direction.
