At last...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

After days and nights of transcribing the thinking-aloud protocols of all the 19 students that I've interviewed, today, finally, at last, I finished all the transcripts. There are in total 25 sessions of thinking-aloud protocols & interviews, with average length of 30 minutes each. It's about 13 hours of transcripts. Next, I'll have to revise all of them to find any error and to add in all the time line of each line (nearly each line). That might take about 1 week to do. Then, I will sit down and analyse it properly. I mean properly, in a library maybe where no one will disturb me. I pray that I'll sort out all of these before I go to Rihla. So, one month to go before I finish this essential part of my research.

As usual, please make du'a for me.

Wassalam.

p/s: it's quite warm here now in UK and it's only 22 degree today, I can't imagine when I go to Saudi in July, what kind of weather it will be and how will I feel at that time...
