I was hoping for end of Aug but ominous silence from my supv means I'll be lucky if I get it in by Sept. If I don't get my draft back soon, I'm going to shriek :-s. I'm considering amending my thesis acknowledgments to be far less effusive about said supv :-(

"...they're terrible for setting off from home really early and being on the doorstep before I'm ready for them!"

Mine do that too, very irritating.

YES! She's gone :-) for now anyway. Only took 3 hours of ignoring.

I hope you get your draft back soon Ady! I have now done my first goal. My goal for the rest of the afternoon is to make similar minor changes to the thesis chapter which the paper is based on.

well after a worrying night of riots and me freaking at every noise outside, thinking they were going to smash up my car, I'm feeling unerefreshed. Sup has just emailed me to say that everything I wrote yesterday was essentially a waste of time too :-(

Hope everyone is okay. I've not been working for a while due to other commitments, so I'm going to set my self a couple of goals. I don't think much will get done considering I couldn't sleep last night.

Goal 1- read 3 journal articles which need reading, and add to endnote
Goal 2- edit upgrade report

I need to plough on with the lit review re-structure today, otherwise I'll be out of time. I may even deploy mytomatoes to get it done.

Morning. I hope everyone is OK...

Today I need to get my journal paper sent off. My first goal is to finish addressing the reviewer comments.

Morning everyone. I was awake til 2am watching the news and keeping an eye on whether friends etc were okay, so didn't get going at all this morning. I'm starting to feel pressure about the paper I'm writing - I have to send it to my co-author on Monday and have barely made a start on it, so that's today's task.

My manuscript is now ready to be sent off, apart from one piece of info which I've sent an email about. My next goal is to do a bit of reading and make some notes in preparation for a meeting tomorrow.

Morning all. My goal for this morning is to finish inserting the references from my literature review into a word document so that I can create my reference list. Dull, but this means I will be finished with the thing soon!

Morning all, today I have some child-free time so I need to finish my discussion for a paper I am writing. It was written during a quiet time in my writing up phase but needs to be updated based on my final thesis findings. Then hopefully I can send it off to sups and a journal, yey!

Hello everyone.

Today, I have two goals:
1.) Write up notes from yesterday's supervision meeting on how to rework second year report
2.) Make serious progress on journal article I need to have finished writing by Monday

I also need to go and buy some food! The cupboard is looking decidedly bare.

Goal one achieved, and I've been to the supermarket for enough food to get me through the next few days! Time to focus on writing my journal article, once I've had something to eat.

Avatar for sneaks

been to the supermarket as well today. Also, been to the doctors and she let me go back on the pill *does a little dance* - which is great, because I've been feeling awful off of the pill, my hormones are shot, which just adds to the stress levels.

Seriously freaking out now. I have 10,000 words to write/re-write and I have 2 days. I'm thinking laptop + coffee = all nighters for the next 2 days.

Ok so a trip to the gym 8-) and then some constructive work! All this talk of supermarket food shopping has got me needing snacks! So I have scoffed a pot of rice pudding and had a lovely cup of tea (very english lol). Oh I have also finished my discussion for my journal article and emailed to my two sups for approval, yey! Of to get the bambinos next, peace is about to be shattered ;-)
