Well, I've had a rubbish day, a rubbish week and a rubbish month really. I can't focus and am overwhelmed by what I need to do and so haven't done anything remotely productive for ages.

I left the office early, having accomplished nothing but sick of staring at the pc. On my way out the gates I bumped into another student, 3 years ahead of me with the same supervisor who asked me how my work was going (he's a really nice, helpful guy but our office is like a library and chatting is heavily frowned up so I don't get to talk with him much). I was pretty honest about the position I'm in workwise and he basically told me (in the nicest possible way) to get on with things as he would be concerned if he were in my position after this length of time. Now I'm pretty panicked. I have definitely been feeling like I've been threading water for a while and I know that everyone works at a different pace but what he said has made me doubt my abilities and suitability for this PhD. I have been contemplating for a while if I made the right decision in accepting the offer and this conversation has reinforced those doubts. At the moment I am sitting at home waiting for bf to return to distract me (relationship also failing so we never discuss important stuff anymore) an my mood is swinging between determination to work harder and make progress and just throwing in the towel before it becomes obvious to everyone that I am making an absolute mess of the opportunity I've been give.

Sorry for hijacking this thread - rant now officially over.

Well done to everyone who has achieved their goals, however small (up)

Hi everyone! Not been on this thread for a while because I've been bogged down all week with work completely unrelated to my MA! So I must get back to it today.

Okay so I need to start writing another assignment:

Goal 1: Write 500 words of assignment

I am very sleepy. However I must study.:-(:-(

First Goal is reading Chapter1 of a book 2008

Goal 1 done.

Goal 2: Finish sections 1 and 2

Goal 3: Make a start on section 3 before lunch

Goals 2 and 3 are done, but section 3 is a hard one!

Goal 4: Make what I've wrote for section 3 so far clearer

Goal 5: finish up to meth for section 3

It's like a ghost town on PGF today! Anyway, goals 4 and 5 done, 1700 words written, so that's me finished for the day!

Goal 1- Finish off section 3 of assignment

Sry, was just kidding, keep it up(up)

8-)

Goal 1 is done woohoo.

Goal 2- get up to half way through section 4

Goal 2 done, that's me finished for the day!

Mornin everyone! I had a lazy weekend, mostly in front of tv or reading true blood books. So need to get work done today!

Goal 1: email sup and see if i need to do any work on paper

Goal 2: Plan out hypotheses and rationale for meeting on weds.

I'm at paid work today from 12.30-8pm (ugh), so only have one PhD related goal today:

GOAL: Get ready and go to the Uni library to pick up reserved book before they put it back on the open shelves.

Even this is a struggle!
