Hi Sneaks, thanks. :)

My model doesn't run well as expected, I have stuck here for long. Need to figure out if the application is wrong, or the model need some change -- should be minor.
It is already the afternoon. My plan for this afternoon:
run one test, analyze the result, take notes of this test.

also, I ran out of clean clothes, gotta do some laundry today.

I've done a lot more of this analysis than I thought I would! Done the main part of it so just need to write the table of themes up, yay! I think that's me done for the day.

Think I'll start cleaning the house before other half gets home, then he'll think Ive been cleaning all day and will feel guilty that he hasn't helped, hehe!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Wow, worst nights sleep ever!

Supervision at 9, so will spent the next 45 minutes working on the paper I'm writing.

Not holding out much hope for my productivity this afternoon so I'm planning to take the afternoon off and work Saturday morning to make it up. But no, I won't be watching the football!

Just had an illuminating chat with sup who said I'm good at research, but essentially come across really under confident and badly in interviews, so I will never get a research job, unless I apply for funding. I think she meant this in a good way, but kinda comes across a bit rubbish!

Today's goals...

Goal 1: re-do presentation slides
Goal 2: write notes for presentation slides so I'm ready for any really nasty questions.
Goal 3: re-read intro for other study and plan out tomorrow's writing.

Morning! :)

well, I had a lovely day off yesterday, went gooseberry and strawberry picking with my OH, and foraged for some elderflower. Made elderflower cordial, elderflower champagne, gooseberry and elderflower jam, and strawberry comport. We also have a batch of lemon marmalade to make this evening :) The gooseberry and elderflower jam turned out great and we had a lovely breakfast with it on some fresh waffles.

Annnnnyway, back to work now I guess! My first goal will be to extract info from a paper. I hoe to do 10 tomatoes today, and at least 4 papers.

Supervision was inspiring and very useful. We had a talk about my thesis plan and how to develop things. It was great but I now feel like I have absolutely loads of stuff to do! e.g. I may more or less rewrite the presentation I'm giving in August which I had half put together.

I am now looking up some books to go and take out of the library. Then the gym. Then this afternoon probably reading in the garden rather than having the afternoon off as planned. Hohum.

I'm very excited because my new mobile phone arrived this morning :-) It's only a really basic one but my old one was so badly designed that it was almost unusable (a light sensitive cancel button is not very practical!!) so I'm just relieved to have one that works! So now I'm having to stop myself playing with it instead of working - very difficult!

Oh well. Goal 1 was to organise all the copies of things I've written that my supervisors have scrawled notes all over. Done!

Goal 2 is to plan a timetable of how I'm going to write the first draft of my 10,000 word update report in only two weeks!

5 toms and 4 papers done :) off to lunch now.

Batfink - that's 1000 words a day - a slog, but not impossible, I hope it goes well for you (I totally sympathise!)

Thanks Pink_Numbers. I'm sure I will manage it, I'm just not looking forward to it that much! Oh well, it'll be done.

Goal 2, writing a timetable/plan, is now done. Goal 3 is to start writing my Bakcground section. But maybe I need to go to the shops for supplies first - I have no food or drink in the flat!

Goal 1 - get dressed

Goal 2- leave house

Goal 3 - make it to office

Goal 4 - Try to focus mind on work

Goal 5 - Do something, anything productive

hi everyone: It is another hot morning. I guess it is already afternoon for you guys. Nice to see you have a productive morning, which encourage me to catch up.

spent two hours doing the laundry, then went to a martial art class last evening, exhausted, had a good sleep. I actually haven't done the goal yesterday afternoon. Let me repost it, and have it done today.

run one test, analyze the result, take notes of this test.

10 tomatoes and 6 papers extracted. I also went through the 100 or so papers I need to get through and got rid of about 30 papers as either not relevant or for another chapter. So things are not looking so depressing.

Off to make lemon marmalade and other yummy stuff :)

Benyaya - I see you're on a different time zone to me, whereabouts are you?

Morning everyone.

My first goal today is to spend until 10.30 working on my presentation, which I have decided to more or less rewrite.

Good morning. :-) I'm at the office today and hoping to get lots of work done! I finished the first draft of chapter 2 and emailed it to supervisors on Monday, so now it's on to chapter 3!

First goal: getting together references for first section.

um, well, as I'm moving home, back with the parents, next week, I had dinner last night with a few friends which turned into a bit of a wine-fest...very sore head this morning, vision slightly out of focus. So my main goal today is to get rid of the hangover! Also to fix up my CV and do a bit of lab work, nothing too important though as I don't think I'm that safe yet!!
