morning morning :)

gosh I had a real trouble going to sleep last night, started panicing about how much work I still have to get done in 6 months. It just seems impossible to get it all done in that time!! :(

On a good news though, the frozen yoghurt turned out great. No measuring required, just nuke some honey with some finely chopped ginger for about 30sec to 1 min, then add it to your yoghurt in the ice cream maker :)

I'm dreading yet another day of work (just seems so never ending). Please tell me this does get better!!

Hi All,

I feel like I've been away for far too long. I've had a bit of a break and am going away for work next week, so this week really needs to count. Big news is that my first published article is now out for all to see :-)

Goals for this week:
- sort out slides for presentation
- write lit review
- run stats and write up

So goals for today..

I need to get my slides sorted by lunchtime and sent off for sup.

We have plasterers here today so lots of loud crashing around :-s

Goal 1 done- I have spent 2 (slow) hours working on my presentation. I can't quite decide whether to include a particular section so will come back to it tomorrow.

I am writing a paper based on the presentation so will work on this up until lunch time.

Congrats Sneaks!!

This morning I have been to the hospital and the gym - including 30 mins of cycling to get from one to the other and am now in the office. I'm not usually a morning person so this is all a bit new to me :$

Anyhow, Goal 1: Check the chemicals are still stored correctly

Goal 2; read and make notes from that chapter that seems really useful (I was supposed to do this on Friday but oh well)

oh no ev - why the hospital? Or have I missed something while I was away?

Nothing major Sneaks - just a minor treatment that I need 3 times a week for the next couple of months - so 3 enforced early morning starts!!

urgh - hate early starts!

I feel for you Ev, I hate hospitals and I hate early mornings, but three times a week? you poor thing! *big hugs*

am in one month old into my Phd and my sup keeps giving me three page write ups asks me to choose deadlines. last week i told him one week but after reading for one week i needed one more week i send him email and he told me he is not surprised. this week goal to review theories informing my study.........let me see if i finsidh by saturday

Yep 3 times a week has a bit of an impact alright but I've been on the waiting list for over a year so I'm just really glad to finally be getting treated. Thanks for the hugs but I'm actually really excited about the outcome in a couple of months so all is good :-)

Hope it all works out the way you want!

I've achieved goal one - sent off my paper to my supervisors - and just went for a lovely walk by the river. Too hot though so had to come home again for some shade! Ah well. The rest of today is odd jobs and things i haven't got around to.

I've spent the last hour feeling really dizzy and nauseous. Then I decided my bra was too tight :$ Now feeling a lot better, although clearly need to lose weight! or buy a better bra ;-)

Well done Batfink, enjoy your afternoon!

It's not quite lunch yet but I am sick of the analysis stuff I am writing up for this paper. Ended up faffing around and letting myself get distracted. I think this is the first time I have started to feel fed up with working on the same bloody topic for 3 years. Writing is also making me panic slightly today because I am thinking about the whole 80,000 words and feeling overwhelmed.

So I have 6 pieces of transcription to do, and aim to have them done by the end of the day.

Goal 1 DONE
Goal 2 33.33333% DONE

Also clocked up another 20 minutes of cycling, a little dog walking and a nice healthy lunch of salad with feta cheese and home made egg salad (and 4 squares of Lindt :$). I need to lose the 1.5 stone I've put on since starting thePhD - my boyfriend's dad commented on it yesterday :-s

So, on with goal 2 until 7.30pm

I feel so guilty - I took my dog out at 8am this morning, but its too hot to go out until later :-(

I realised I haven't actually run my stats for presentation so doing that now! argh!
