Sneaks, remember that it's your work and as you said, she probably won't remember anyway! And even if she did she'd only see it once its published, right? And that's the main thing...

I'm feeling quite alert after a gym session this morning but I know that because of the early start I'll be tired by this afternoon so I need to get some stuff out of the way this morning!

Goal 1- Finish rewriting CV. DONE.
Goal 2- Figure out why refworks doesn't like one of the documents I need to submit tomorrow. DONE. Had to type them manually. :-s
Goal 3- Get together 2 examples of my writing to submit with application tomorrow.
Goal 4- Work on analysis.
Goal 5- Not get too hammered at the monthly PhD meetup tonight. :p

Added Goal 6- Fill out application form to be submitted tomorrow. DONE

Emaa... I find that if my writing is of a reasonable standard I write about 150 words per hour. I think this might be relatively slow compared to others though!

My meeting yesterday went on all afternoon so I hardly had time to do anything else. My goals today are:
1. Make some real progress on at least one analysis section.- DONE.
2. Write up 500 words of literature stuff.- DONE. Feeling pleased about my productive morning. I can start to see light at the end of the tunnel with this chapter.
3. Rewrite CV.
4. Make final changes to research proposal and summary of research interests.- DONE (apart from Refworks playing up and I can't figure out what it doesn't like about my proposal document and it is making me want to smash things so I'll have another go at it tomorrow).
5. Go to spin class.
6. Not drink any wine (this is a constant challenge at the moment!).

I feel your pain Sneaks. I'm having a day where everything is coming along very slowly and painfully. Sigh. My goals for this afternoon are:

Have lunch and cycle to uni.
Copy extra data over from the lab onto my laptop.
Attend meeting with research group.
Get sup to sign ILL form and drop this off at library.
Make some actual progress with my current analysis.
Go to the gym.
Not drink wine.

Damn. I thought that all this week I had a clear diary but realised when I checked my emails this morning that I have a meeting this afternoon. Grr. Better make the most of this morning then...

My first goal is to get a chunk of analysis done.

My third goal is done. I now feel like my brain has turned to mush so I'm going to cop out and spend a little time completing this 'adult directions' thing from the Careers Service website as I'm supposed to be seeing an advisor next week.

My second goal is done. Didn't actually find many examples of the specific thing I was looking for, but searching through has helped me clarify in my mind how I'm going to go about the analysis for a particular chapter (so that is all of my chapters worked out now!).

My next goal is to read and make notes on one article.

My first goal is done.

My second goal is to look through some transcripts I've been sent to look for examples of a particular phenomena.

Happy Monday everyone.

My supervisor has asked me to tart up my proposal a bit and to send it to her by the end of the day, so this is my first goal.

Article read. My next goal is to do a couple of pieces of transcription.

I feel a bit silly being the only one posting on here but nevermind...

I'm all analysed out for now. I have an article to read so this is my next goal.

I've not managed my first goal yet. :$ I'm finding the particular section which I should redo really difficult so I ended up starting another section instead. My goal now is to work on the difficult section up until lunch at 1.

Happy Friday everyone. Today is my first day this week with a clear diary to really get on with things. My first goal is to redo the analysis I originally planned to do yesterday.

oh dear! Are you staying with family? I escaped to the office this afternoon which is good because we've had a workman in stripping wallpaper.

My task of looking through the data in the lab isn't going to be as straightforward as I thought because I couldn't find any transcripts. I have emailed my supervisor as she may have some but otherwise its back to the drawing board.

My final goal for today is to look really carefully through my transcripts for examples of a particular phenomena. I've been finding it difficult looking for them but one jumped out at me during my supervision meeting so there must be some there!

I got to see my supervisor as she had got the time wrong and emailed me. She said my proposal is great but I just need to sell it a bit more and she's going to help me make a few changes to it. (up)

I also got my first goal of the afternoon done and emailed off my abstract. Now I'm going to go upto the lab to look through the data there to see if I can find any more examples of a phenomena I want to write about.

My supervisor didn't turn up :-( It was quite important to me because we were going to discuss my application. Grrr.

However I did bump into another lecturer from my research group who reminded me its the deadline tomorroe to submit an abstract for a conference he is organizing. My first goal for this afternoon is to get a draft of this written (to be redrafted and submitted first thing tomorrow morning).
