Oh God sneaks your sup sounds awful! Make sure she's not just copied it for her own paper and is stealing your work! And you can totally have cheese on a diet, just not a lot! A really nice dish is tomato salad, as in tomatoes chopped thickly, some shallots, some goats cheese (or low fat mozarella if you want to be really good..) and salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Yummy! And like, practically no calories! My mum is doing the slimming world diet thing and she's lost a stone nearly, still eating loads and drinking wine so I think I may do it when I get home!

Todays goal is to get this discussion done, I really really want to get this chapter emailed off tonight!!

problem with me is that if you give me an inch (i.e. a bit of cheese) i'll take a mile (the whole block of cheese) - I have no self control. So I've banned it for a few weeks.

I am fed up of transcribing. it doesn't take me long and I have so much of it still to do.... :-s

But for now I have an article which I need to read so this is my next goal.

I'm having quite a stressful day as can be seen on the Rant thread. So I've decided to make 2 documents 1 for publication, 1 for thesis and watermark them (e.g. Thesis, thesis thesis across one and publication, publication across the other) - that way I'm actually producing two things at the same time, not a load of confused rubbish - I've just seen that Sup has taken out loads of references, I can see she wants me to shorten it for publication, but I don't want to lose them - literally lose them/forget who they are - for the thesis.

Oh dear Sneaks, that sounds very stressful. Best of luck with it

I am having a terribly unproductive day and haven't even completed goal 1 as yet - hmm maybe I don't need lunch after all and can hold out til bf gets back from work hopefully with some food in tow :$

Article has been read. My final goal for the day is to do some writing for the chapter section of doom.

I'll second the unproductive theme of today. I have written up plans for the discussion and a reflection chapter and am just waiting to talk about it with my sups, in a meeting, tomorrow. It's funny in a way, because right when you think things can't get any harder, they do. I now have first hand experience of the three horsemen of the apocalypse, in the form of 3 chapters.

I have been unproductive also if I'm completely honest. Didn't do any work on the chapter of doom and searched for some literature instead. I need to learn to stop procrastinating like this.

I reached the point where nothing more productive will be done today a while ago so I'm off to the gym.

I've actually done OK today despite supervisors best attempts at sabotage.

Just so I don't forget - my goal for tomorrow will be to do the section in the intro that I've yet to do.

Then I want to re-shape intro for thesis version.

Tonight, I've decided to do some of the method chapter. If I can get a bit done each night it would be written in a few weeks without *much* effort!

I've just seen my goal I left for myself last night and I really do not want to do it. But I must! onwards to goal completion!

Good luck Sneaks!

My first goal today is to make some progress with the chapter section of doom. I really don't want to do this either but will tackle it while I'm fresh.

ok it helps that noone wants to do the work that they must do today, i don't want to do mine either, but yet again, I must...

So with that in mind, off I go....

:-( horrible email from sup has just arrived in my inbox requesting details on where I'm at :$:-(

Tell her you're at an anger management course (ie. PGf...) so you can learn how to deal with her maddening emails and avoid the seemingly inevitable possibility that you will strangle her and enjoy every second of it...

On a more positive note, my 2 new Wii games arrived today, so I have instructed my boyf that I'm not allowed to even open them tonight if I don't get this chapter done! SO!

Goal 1: finish discussion
1.1: finish nutrients section with literature references
1.2: community composition with literature references
1.3: overall comparision
1.4: conclusion

Goal 2: fix intro

Goal 3: format text

Goal 4: proof read

Goal 5: stop scratching my insect bites....

ooh what are the Wii games??
