what keep me going is a double dosis of Scotch every night. I have comletely lost my motivation for this Ph.D., really. I think it is the biggest waste of time ever.

I'm only motivated by the fact that the more I write, the sooner it will be over. I still enjoy my subject, but loathe thesis writing more than I can describe. Also, when I'm done, I will not have to endure other people 'helpfully' trying to motivate me. The fiance's parents have offered me £50 if I finish in a particular month, £25 the month after and so on in the manner of a GCSE £5-for-every-A-grade style. It is testiment to my self-control that I still have a wedding to attend.

Ha! Ha! Joao. You sound like you're enjoying that whisky. *grin* As for me, I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine, the Princess Diana concert and trying hard to get over the fact that I've just burnt my last bag of popcorn in the microwave.
