hey everyone well done to you lara to get it all done. enjoy your rest and you too tractor girl. Well my early start was good - i got all my aims completed by 11am then went to bed for a couple of hours so back at it now! Going to plan my work for tomorrow and send a few emails then rest I think and reward myself for doing well!

Hello Lara and Celesmai,

Glad to hear that you're doing great!

I had the take the weekend off because of prior commitments (was 4th of July weekend here) with my family.

Now back to work! My aim today is to complete the first rough draft of introduction chapter so I can share it with my supervisor this week. Although I took a couple of days off, I feel like I am back on track. No more taking days off for a couple of months now.

Hi Celesmai, longway74, Lara and everyone else with writing to do!

Glad everyone is doing so well. I am quite relieved as handed in my first draft of my thesis today, although pushed the deadline right to the wire!!! Saw my supervisor at 3pm having only just finished it! Anyway went to see that new Will Smith film afterwards but back to it tomorrow! Tomorrows aims (or guess i should say today bearing in mind the time) : aim to start chapter 2 corrections (this one i handed in early). Hope everyone meets their aims for today!

Hello everyone!!

Sorry I have been AWOL recently- last week I enjoyed a weeks holiday on the beautiful isle of wight! It was very relaxing and just what I needed. Monday morning came round soon enough and I had to go to the dentists for another filling. So yesterday and today, I have been trying to get my head around the piles of work I left on my desk before I went on holiday. Had a meeting with the supervisors this morning which went well. So am going to start posting my aims again tomorrow. I will endevour to catch up with some of last weeks posts!

met my aims.

recieved an email from my second sup. she wants a thesis outline summary for each chpater, and paragraph as shes really busy and doesnt have time to read my 1st draft. she also said my chapter 5 results section was very simple. so maybe she might give me some pointers.

so todays aim:

1. a detailed summary of entire thesis (thesis map): by chapters, sections, paragraphs. do bullet points/1 or two sentence(s)

2. add extra results and info that was not included in 1st draft, into the "thesis map"
