Hello all!

It is 14:30 here and after a difficult day at work, with need children for assessment (that is what I do by the way) I have to sit in front of my computer and shift my mind to my thesis.....
I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, my first goal for today is to write section 2 of 2nd analysis chapter (again)....
Than, and if I finish it, I have to add a few things in section 1........

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!

Here I am for today!!!!!!!!!

I haven;t done anything as I had a lot of work for my "real" job..... I had a new case of a child with SEN and I had to study about it.... So, I will go back to my thesis tomorrow!

Have a nice evening!!!!!!!

How important is home ownership to you?
E

Currently I am renting a house. I don't plan to buy one, but I plan to build my own above my parents' house.
I live in Greece and (as you probably know) the economy is just awful (can't find a better word). We are working just to pay for taxes, so getting a loan and paying it is out of the question, as interests are really high. Also, the money needed every month in order to pay for a loan to buy a decent house in my area (relatively cheap) is more than I get from my work...

I really hope that in 10 years we will be in better situation and I will be able to afford building my own house.....

Thseses not in ETHOS
E

Thanks everybody...

Sadly though my university does not subscribe to ProQuest and ethos does not even mention the thesis that I need...

I guess the only solution is to contact the "thesis" university, and see if they can send it to me at my university when I will be there....Difficult.......:-(

Does anybody know how (and if) I can have access to theses that are not in ETHOS database?

Do they have a copy of them in British Library? (Sorry for being ignorant, but I am not British and I don't know these things)

Goodmorning to all!
It's almost 2 o'clock here, and I am getting ready to leave my office (my "real" everyday job).
So, I'm going to my mum's for lunch (we have family lunch everyday) and at 3 my PhD-day will start.

So my goal for today is to write one section of my 2nd analysis chapter!

Then go to the gym and then...we'll see....

Good luck everybody!

Quote From Skig:

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



Oh....I don't feel organised.........
I don't know when I am submitting.... I am in my 4th year of a PT PhD... I also work FT in Greece (I am Greek), sa this adds more difficulty......

Well,.....back to work!

I think I will start participating in this thread once again (that is if you want me.....:p )

So, having finished one analysis chapter, and having sent it to supervisors, today I have to make an outline of my next analysis chapter.
I give myself 2 hours (I know what I want to put in it, I just have to decide where to put eveyrthing), and then I have to take 2 cats to the vet and then go to the gym....


Inadequate???
E

Thank you all for spending your valuable time on reading my post and offering advice!!!
I may sound awful, but I feel good knowing that I am not the one feeling like that....Loneliness is always a bad thing, so having company in these feelings is good!!!! :p:p

I think I should just sit on my chair and get on with it!!!! If I have made it that far, I guess I am (a little bit) good for it.....

Inadequate???

Quote From pink_numbers:

Hi Emmaki, I think we all know exactly how you feel!

Can you tell me whether this has been caused by something specific (such as someone making an off hand comment) or something that has been brewing in the background for ages?


I don't know why it happened.... Nobody has told me anything.... In fact I feel very lucky for having a very supportive family and friends that (try to) understand what I am doing (and up to a point do understand) and how much I want it...

Well, I just hope it will go away soon, as I don't have the "luxury" of time, because I am also working FT while doing my PhD PT.........

Inadequate???
E

It's the first time I am feeling like that...
I feel that I am inadequate for a PhD, that I do not know anything, that my work is rubbish...
If I think logically, I have almost half of my thesis ready and I am working on the other half, but I cannot think logically.... I do not want to work on my thesis, as I believe that whatever I write is not good enough....

I don't know, maybe this is a temporary thing (it probably is)....

paper help, please!!!!
E

Thank you both!!!!!!!
