Hey- yes, I'm working through the Christmas break....working from home mostly as I can't risk the temperamental bus services into town.
Other than my 2 day support worker shifts on Friday and Saturday (in order to build up some client work experience) and supervising MSc students on Mondays, I'm mostly working on my post viva PhD thesis corrections.
I'm not working on Christmas day (and hopefully not on my birthday!), but I'll be squeezing in either 8-13hr days or 4-5hr days depending on other commitments.
1.30pm-1am?!?! yikes!!
You're not the only one working, trust me!
I'm updating my literature review chapters and working on reducing some large contextual/background sections in my literature review chapters. Just made myself a cup of very strong coffee to see me through today.
Yet more false summits today- still lots to do and lots of papers to read. Will need to draw the line at some point though! I cannot go over the 100,000 word limit!!
Onwards and upwards! :)
so glad to hear that am not the only one working! yes! 1.30pm to 1.30am. sounds scary but.. one hour in, its not that bad. lol. maybe too early to say. lol.
"I'm updating my literature review chapters and working on reducing some large contextual/background sections in my literature review chapters. Just made myself a cup of very strong coffee to see me through today."
exactly what i will be doing for the next 10 days. except that the doctor doesn't allow me coffee. so am driving on sheer will power. but hey when you got no option, you will get the work done!
thanks for letting me know your schedule - so much time off. lucky you!!!!
its amazing how one can say so much in their contextual chapter. mine is 30,000 words. got to cut it down to 15000!
so much for this gift of the gab! not always very helpful
but thats after i finish these two 5000 word pieces.
wishing you a lot of productivity in your work today! :)
sigh.. back to it.
all the best in your revisions. you're one strong person! you inspire me.

Hey,
How is everyone getting on?
I had to take a few days away from my PhD thesis corrections and trying to get back into the swing of things. I experienced some strong chest pains just before Christmas so I was ordered by my doctor to take a break from my thesis and try and reduce my stress levels. Feel a little better after lots of sleep, but now have to get back to it....
I'm trying to get back into my thesis, but I'm really struggling!
Best of luck to everyone submitting soon!
