Just say hi i'm new here !Airy !

A

RIGHT!!
Morning all, welcome Airylotus and go Wally for getting all your stuff done!! And Sneaks!! :)

Today I have half a day to get my article done, I'm still not entirely sure what way I'm going about it but I'm sure I'll figure it out as I go along. Then it's off to town with my friend to hold her hand as she gets her brown dreadlocks bleached blonde! I'm very excited to see the result!

B

Well done guys, I'm officially starting interviews for my MA diss today, wish me luck! Goals for today are:

Goal 1- sort out main points of findings, so can link to lit

Goal 2- Go over diss interview schedule

Goal 3- Transcribe interview

It sounds like we're all working away, even if some of us are finding it a bit stressful. Hang in there, guys, we're all perfectly capable of getting things done!

First goal for today, to draft out some writing about the stuff I read yesterday.

Morning all.

I have made it into the office and have done a few small administrative things. I really need to get on with writing, so my goal is to concentrate on this for the next 2 hours.

T

First goal in a long time *deep breath* ...

I shall work out the title of my thesis and fill in those dratted submission forms.

Hi all,

I managed to have a really good day yesterday and achieved all of my goals. Today I am going to spend the next 2 hours working solidly on my chapter.

Hi everyone!
Totay I'm determined to finish off yesterday's goal, it's taking so much longer than I expected and I had a total writers block last night :( but I'll get there and I'll get it done.
I hope everyone else did well yesterday, good to see you back making goals Teek, big deep breaths, we can do it!

hi sneaks hi algaequeen hi everyone
my goal today is also....to do yesterday's goal :-) :-) :-)
love satchi

I've had an awful morning! I was up ALL night - from 1am onwards with my dog who is sick. I then went to do the weekly shop and get her pepto bismal and while I was out she had managed to confuse our hallway, bedroom and stair carpets with 'the facilities'. So have spent AGES cleaning. Then my dad phones - in an attempt to comfort me, spends an hour telling me how hard its going to be for me to get a job :-( Now I have a lot of work to do for tomorrow and feeling VERY tired.

All my work is around getting my paper up to speed for sup to read in her office tommorrow. So...

Goal 1: Add section on perceived versus real XXXXXX

S

Oh sneaks I hope your dog is OK!

I didn't quite reach my goal this morning, I worked for an hour and a half before having a break to work out, as I am finding the analysis section which I was working on really hard.

This afternoon I am going to put the analysis section to the side and really get on with the background and literature bit. I am going to spend 4 tomatoes doing this and then see where I am up to with things.

Oh no Sneaks, that sounds like just what you didn't need! I always find anything like that is ten times worse if I'm tired. Hope the day improves anyway!

Like Algaequeen and Satchi, I'm still on yesterday's goal. Well, I just finished a rough version of yesterday's goal after finally breaking through the writing block that plagued me the whole of yesterday.

Today's goals - go food shopping and eat something healthy for lunch! Then pull together all my notes on the four different models I need to write about next, and plan out how to write this section. Fun fun fun. Maybe I'll buy some chocolate as well as the healthy food!

Oh Sneaks, hope both you and dog are ok. I can sympathise on the parent front, I made the mistake of calling my mother the other night, turns out my sister had told her I was a bit ropey. All well and good for the first 20 minutes, so I made the error of actually talking to her about how I felt - cue half an hours lecture that made me feel like an angry 14 year old!

And despite having the world's least ambitious goals yesterday I still failed, I spent about 10 hours sitting here, and achieved the grand total of sending a few emails :-( I'm actually starting to think that I'll have to tell my sups what's been going on, there's only so many weeks you can make no progress before it all crashes down.

Still, today. Today I shall do something about the first comment on my introduction. (if my goals get any smaller I'll need a damn microscope).

dog is ok - sleeping in the corner, finally! I have spent the last hour eating and taking a "are you a psychopath" test (I was curious) apparently I am not a psychopath, I just don't like people, which is what I suspected because I do love my dog and hubby. Am very sleepy, haven't done any work....need to do work zzzzz

hmm i've noticed that my work is always hampered (is that a word? - so tired) by lack of pens. I spend all my life looking for pens and refuse to buy any.

Mental Note: Steal pens from uni next time am in.
