i came to the office to work and now everyone is making so much noise. i wonder why people bother showing up at the office if all they'll do is talk talk and talk. its really annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the consolation Lara. i wonder how correct that study was because everyone in my family generally gets up by 5am. my granddad was always up by 3am. :-$ everyone from my mum's side is generally up by 7am. me..... am a gone case. the irony is that am the greatest achiever academically. others tend to do better in more practical things where am just crap.

i hated the way Lee treated Lucinda yesterday and for that reason, he should not win the Apprentice. he's a mean guy. has no 'class' at all. how is he gonna fit in with the Sir Allen's company? he looks down on Lucinda. i personally would never want to work with such a person.

i get the feeling Sir Allen will give michael a call and employ him in private - out of the camera's eye. he really liked him. wait and see.

takes breaks and reward yourself often. you'll be more productive then.

just write any section. you don't have to start with the intro. that makes it easier. do the bits you like first. then fit them all together.

about three and a half hours botanybod. i just wrote it like a novel. i didn't waste time thinking about how good a sentence sounded or looking up literature. i just got it out of my head and let my thoughts flow - like i was explaining it to someone. today i'll look through it and make it sound more academic.

thanks everyone. i've decided to have a more inspiring start to my day. i'll be going to the gym or to the pool first thing in the morning before i start working on my thesis. that should lift up my spirit and i won't sleep til noon because i don't want to face my thesis and then wake up and be so low that i end up doing nothing that day.

am hoping i can get all that literature done today - at least most of it because i have done the reading.

i managed almost 3,000 words. i just realised its all about confidence. it's not that i don't know. am just not confident enough and that triggers my writer's block. now i just have to support my argunment with literature after the Apprentice .

thanks Shani.

i loved the dog yesterday

all the best sjo4! you'll be in my thoughts. keeping everything crossed for you. :P

hope the writing is going ok for most of you.

am about to get back to writing after a whole day of procrastinating. am aiming to do about three hours! i would be so proud of myself.

lol cakegirl!!

am having a very unproductive day today. feeling quite stressed. considering taking the day off.

good morning everyone.... .

two hours done today. off for a discussion with co-author of forthcoming publication. its funny how under pressure we can juggle everything.
