I think you'll have your thesis before your upgrade doc!! That's a great place to be though :) (I wish I was!)

Right, that's everything copied over from my old thesis to new thesis (I decided to change the structure a bit).

Now I have to through each chapter and arrange things. JOY.

Outside is looking glorious, all I want to do is potter around in my vegetable garden :(

I'm having a 'Meh' day today. I'm trying to rearrange paper but feeling generally a bit rubbish. I usually eat chocolate at times like these, but don't even feel like that - well not much anyway.

I'll plough on though!

Rubbish day today - waiting around for someone to fix a broken set-up but he hasn't materialized as yet.

The aim for today is to have a comprehensive plan for the paper set out - so I know exactly what I need to do. I've already pulled together any bits of writing I've already done that is relevant - so by the end of today I want to know all the gaps that need to be filled in. This should be possible for all but the last part of the paper as I'm still a bit muddled up about what I'm supposed to be doing. I may see if I can arrange some time with my primary sup to have a chat about that next weeks as I haven't seen him for months and could really do with some input/guidance at this stage.

Well after a few hours of being all restless and having a small version of myself throwing a hissy fit with full on foot-stamping in my brain about having to make changes that I didn't quite know how to do to the paper - I've done them! wooooo

Now I'm not going to do stats, because I've just rememberd something I should have done a few days ago for another lecturer - so will do that first!

wooo, finished my 'odd job' for the other lecturer.

Now I only have stats. I feel like its 8pm or something, but its only 3.15, which probably means I've got no excuse to not do the stats :-s

really struggling to stay focus on my writing today, I do a little bit, like a paragraph, then find myself surfing around the web... *sigh*

I think its because all around us are people travelling down to go surfing in newquay or something - your brain knows other people are having the day off!

ha ha yes that is very true. I wonder how many more 'bank holiday weekends' I will have to ignore and work through... I've already taken one whole day off this week (yesterday because I was feeling so ill), I don't think I can justify another day off just because it's the bank holiday!

2nd section of chapter 1 done - not perfect and still a bit too long, but it'll do for now. I'll start working on the third section, but I doubt I'll be able to finish it today. Still, I'm quite pleased with my progress over the last few days! :-) I'm desperately waiting for my supervisors' feedback on the conference poster - I need it today as the deadline is on Monday. Feeling rather apprehensive about this as it is my first poster for a conference. :S

Well the broken stuff is now fixed, at least temporarily but there's no time to put it to the test until next week.

I got absolutely no writing done today as I was running around trying to find the person I needed but I guess some progress was made on the practical side!

I'm going to try sort the paper out as much as I can until 7 and then head to home to b/f and doggy - I feel like I haven't seem them for a week - that felt like the longest week ever!! And I'm tired and sore as I did three intense gym classes this week.

So all-in-all I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself and so I get to take tonight and Sunday afternoon off - yay 8-)

Hope everyone has a good weekend (sprout)

don't worry ev, I hate those days when its all practical/admin and no 'proper' work, but then just think how many hours per day people actually do proper work at 'real work' probably about 20mins worth of work. My hubby seems to spend 90% of his time in meetings, at lunch or waiting for his program to run on his computer.

And all that practical/admin work has to get done eventually!

I need to sign in because I'm flagging. Spent the morning at a meeting and the afternoon panicking a bit about the state of the work I have to submit at the end of next week, while trying to get on with it as best I can.

My goal for the rest of the day is to continue working on it until 6.30.

hi sneaks!
Today's goal is to get lots of rest and SLEEEP!!
really had a rough week
love satchi

Anybody else working today? I'm just getting started now as I spent the morning cleaning the house as my parent s announced that they would be visiting and subsequently cancelled - hmphh. To cheer myself up, I decided to have some tea and chocolate and ended up watching 3 episodes of Gok's Fashion Fix :$

So must do at least 2 hours before bf gets home (I encouraged him to occupy himself elsewhere so I could work!! Needn't have bothered)

Goal 1: work out questions to ask supervisor if I manage to get hold of him next week.
