The One Goal Thread

lol, Just Dance, and Dance on Broadway! :-)

My lovely boyfriend is even going to play them with me! Provided I'm finished of course! :$

I have just dance - its amazing! I like the katie perry song on it :-) I REALLY want the broadway one though!

S

Woo I have made progress on my chapter, which no longer fills me with doom.

My next goal is to have a run through of my presentation for next week, and to put down some prompts to jog my memory for it.

Following that goal 3 is to work on a different chapter section.

yay everyones doing well!

I've done my first goal.

Second goal: to go back to the dreaded intro of the intro and wade through supervisor comments to get something that isn't just repeating what's below.

yay re-structured intro, AND sent it to supervisor AND worked out how to make sure she opens it and it automatically tracks her changes (and password protected it so she can't turn it off mwahahahaha)

*does a little dance*

Yea good going Star-shaped and Sneaks! Especially loving the forced track changes, great touch!

I'm almost finished with the first draft of this chapter, just have to finish the discussion and do a conclusion, but I've got goals 1.1 and 1.2 done which were really stalling me yesterday so yay!

Can't wait to try these games later, I'll let you know how the Broadway one is Sneaks!

S

Woo, I have been through my presentation, tidied up the slides and put down some prompts (and had a decent lunch break during which I dyed my hair).

I realised there is one extract which I only decided to put in yesterday which hasn't been properly transcribed yet so that is next.

S

Transcription is now done. I don't think I can face any more writing at this time of day. I have some literature to sort through and evaluate whether I need to read it or not so this, along with another run through of my presentation is what I will do for the rest of the day.

ok my goal before 4pm is to put together my hypotheses 2 and 3 stats section

Avatar for sneaks

woo, goal DONE. Will have a look at my discussion notes now and try to think about how to structure that. - did I say that it needs to be submitted on Aug 1st!!!! - that's the journal deadline not mine!

A

whoo I am on Goal 2! Fixing up intro, although I'm soooo bored of looking at this chapter now! I would go and do something else but then that means no dancing tonight so must plod on!!
At least I eventually got dressed now tho... :-)

DONE DONE DONE!!

Just have to proof read, but I'll leave that for a while, need to step away form the chapter for a while so I can forget what I wrote enough to check if it all makes sense when I read it back..does that even make sense?! :-)

Just Dance here I come!

Wow algaequeen you had a super productive day!

My aim for today is to write the discussion. I can't believe I didn't realise the deadline was Friday!!!

Do you know if you can submit an article to a conference (who have said they may publish it) but also on the sly submit it to a proper (read: better) journal?

A

Well I must say I love Just Dance! It's soo much fun! Plus, my super competitive boyfriend who is really into sports and forever going on at me that I need to do more sport etc, is not so good at it, I beat him loads!! I always knew dancing was my thang... :-)

I started proof reading last night and found tons of stuff to do still, so that's my plan for today. I have a little to do list here and I'm going to work my way through that, then email the chapter off! Good luck for your discussion today Sneaks, although I don't think it's looked upon too well if you double submit a paper, I think you have to wait and see if it's accepted for publication before you can submit anywhere else. You certainly don't want to get caught out with someone in the 2nd journal realising you've submitted it to another journal simultaneously!

Hi algaequeen/sneaks

I didn't post yesterday but I was drifting around. I also had quite a successful day and wrote 1700 words of my discussion. It's really wierd- 1700 words is my official daily word limit, my brain shuts down after that!

Anyway, my first few goals for today are:

Goal 1- sort out the notes I wrote yesterday at uni
Goal 2- read everything I wrote yesterday
Goal 3- write section 5.3 of discussion
