Morning everyone.

I emailed my chapter off to my supervisor yesterday so now I am free to work on other things. :-)

My goal this morning is to add 500 words to my methods chapter.

Slow progress here too. Still not happy with the analysis. As I am still waiting on comments from another chapter plus a journal paper from my sup, and the deadlines I'm following are self imposed, I feel like I could dedicate more time to this. But I guess that would be a slippery slope...

Call centre jobs. :-(

I have now sorted out my introduction section. My next goal is the analysis.

Morning! My goal today is to get my draft chapter sent to my supervisor. My first goal is to tidy up the literature section.

Well done Batfink. Enjoy your weekend SarahLouise! I am currently feeling nostalgic about last Thursday as I had a long weekend last week, haha.

I am here but have been lurking. I got fed up of posting about working on the same thing for the last 4 weeks. My supervisor is expecting my chapter tomorrow so I will be signing in in the morning to keep my morale going throughout the day while I finish it off!

Thanks for posting this. I came across Turn in it a while back but I have now made a note of it and will be running mine through it. I get a bit obsessive compulsive and spent some time after submitting my masters dissertation convinced something would go wrong and that I might have accidentally plagarised and that my career would be over (ridiculous and I'm not sure why I am admitting this!). Anyway, this should help with my peace of mind during what is bound to be a stressful time inbetween submission and viva.

Morning everyone.
I hope you manage to get a good chunk of PhD work done this week with your supervisor away Sneaks.

Today is supposed to be my first day back after a long weekend with my friends visiting but I caught one of their colds and feel really ill. I haven't had a full on cold for about 3 years so it has knocked me a bit.
I am presenting at a conference in my department tomorrow. I still need to change a few things on my slides, do my handouts and have quite a few rehearsals. I am going to focus on this today and forget about working on my chapter so that I can focus on recuperating for tomorrow.

Well done, it sounds like a positive experience!

I have had a slow morning so far plugging away at my analysis and rehearsing my presentation. I am taking tomorrow off and am also finishing just before 3 today so I should try and get on with things! My goal is to draft out my conclusions section.

Good luck Batfink! If I'd have been working until after 9.30 and was able to I'd definately be taking the next afternoon off so enjoy it. I'm taking Friday and half of Monday off because I have friends arriving to stay and I really can't wait.

Today I have to get as much writing done as I can before leaving at 12 to go to a meeting. I am aiming to have a final version of my analysis drafted.

Good luck! I have replied to your thread re the publications...

I have now written and sent a summary to my supervisor. My final goal for the day is to draft out my Powerpoint slides for presentation next week.

I have done a search on Google scholar and they are all available in publication repositories so you should be able to download them if you search for them on there. Let me know if you run into trouble though...

I have now redrafted my introduction. It was easy enough as I decided half of it would be better off in my literature review chapter so I cut that bit out. I should really get on with the analysis because it would be nice to have the chapter out of the way by the weekend (deadline is the end of next week) but I really feel like I can't face it.

Next I am going to write a summary of each of my chapters and where I am up to which my supervisor asked me to write as he has been away for a year.

I have now edited a further section (and also took a 2 hour break to go to the gym). I have one section left which is the one I'm really not happy with. I don't feel like facing it now so my next goal is to redraft my introduction.

Oh dear Batfink, i hope she gets in touch soon. How many people will you be presenting to?

I am now happy with my presentation. My main goal for today is to finish redrafting my chapter analysis. The second half is in a bit of a mess so I'll just have to see how far I can get. So I will start with one section.

Morning. I feel like I have so much to do today. I met with my main supervisor who just finished his sabbatical yesterday. He is retiring on 30th September and this is also the latest date I want to submit on so I am feeling quite motivated to get on with things.

My first goal is to finish my presentation.
