IRB and Progress

So things are going half way decent thus far with my research project. I'm having issues with the IRB, however after the brief venting and complaining in class just now I feel confident that I'll be able to move forward and call this process a success. My work initially involved observation on site at the rehabilitation center in a South Austin Hospital. After struggling for the past few weeks in order to get a site letter for the IRB, I've decided equally beneficial observations can be made at outside events held by this program. I'm contemplating moving away from the organization and focusing more on various people and their experiences with disability. I haven't kept up with the blog as much as I should, but I always enjoy reading others entries and learning from their processes of research. It's always helpful and informative. Thanks everyone!
