Just a quick post to say good luck to Sneaks and Batfink! I hope you have a lovely time!!

Well done!!

Morning!

I don't know how you can watch 'tv' and do work at the same time Sneaks... I wish I could, I think I'd find referencing less painful but I probably wouldn't do any work either and just end up watching one programme after another!!

Well done for finishing your dreaded chapter Naturalme! Yeah, maybe you're right, emailing my sups on Mon was the end of an era but not quite literally so I must find the motivation to continue somehow!

Well done Sneaks! I hope she doesn't realise it!

My day hasn't been the most productive, things have slowed down a bit. To be honest, I'm just really tired after the 'marathon' of the past few weeks. Plus I'm sorting out references, appendices, etc and it's just sooo boring! I'm sure I'll get there eventually though!

@Cindrella - thanks, I know we're supposed to take breaks etc but I don't really like it as I feel I lose track of things...

@ Sneaks - About your paragraph that your sup wants you to remove it, could you keep it? Would she remember she told you to remove? Cheeky I know but I agree with you that you need to talk about your hypothesis somewhere on the results section!

Saying that, everyone seems so busy around here that it helps me to keep motivated and pushing forward so thank you!

Welcome! I hope you make the most of the support around here. I wish I'd found this forum sooner ;-)

Good job Emmaki!

@Sneaks, doesn't your sup know about your deadline???? Not good (down) I hope the analysis makes it to the final thesis though...

I still have a few things I need to do but decided to have a break today and didn't do much after emailing sups. Back to normal tomorrow though.

I can't say that I have but, tbh, I wasn't thinking of doing it either. I appreciate that you've worked really hard on your thesis but are you sure you want to check it? Not that I think you've done, quite the opposite, I don't think you have so... I'm really sorry, but it just sounds like a waste of money to me... if you know you haven't done it and if you've kept a 'paper trail' somewhere, most of us have in some shape or form, then I don't think you need it. But if you really want to, you could 'test it out' and add some random quote or info from a paper and send it through to test it...

Ace! Might adopt a couple of them (up)

Good for you! I don't have that prob as sups are more eager than me but I'd probably have done the same. I hope you get it sorted! ps. has he replied yet or was it not an 'open to comments' email?

Hi Emmaki! You sound so organised! When are you submitting?

@Ady, thanks! I'm in the process of uploading attachments as I type!! I think you should get a nice pair of long boots Jimmy Choos!! They're loooovely!!!

Anyways, I can't afford shoes so I'll just have cake instead ;-)

@Sneaks, sounds like you're on a roll! I'd say carry on but I think dog walking is a bit more urgent.

I still have stuff to do but I might need to take some time off, even if a couple of hours. I'm knackered!

Wow! This thread has been busy!

I'm taking a short break as I've been proofreading for ages and my eyes are going funny lol so I come here to do some more reading 8-) yeah, I know, it doesn't make sense.

@Ady, I didn't know you had to email today too! I hope you manage it, I'm not feeling any closer (even though I must be!) and lunchtime is fast approaching!

@Sneaks, c'mon, you can do it!!! ;-)

Me four, Swetchha, Sneaks and Ady!! I just want to finiiiiish!

Thanks Batfink, it's looking ok so far but I started with the easiest one lol. Hm... Not wanting you to be nervous, but I wouldn't count on no one coming or you might get a shock when they do! I'm actually very excited for you as I've never presented on a conference myself. Good luck with your meeting today!

Cindrella, good luck with your meeting today too!

Thanks Cindrella but I ended up not being able to do everything I'd planned. I'm glad you had a good time with your friends though! We all need that now and again.

The 'weekend' deadline has definitely become 'Monday', thankfully this wasn't an official deadline so I'll try to get everything done by lunchtime, if not looking good by then, I'll have to email sups :-(

Goal for the morning: proofreading and do some references eek
