Hi Jojo

With you there. Methodologies are murder! I suffered long and hard with mine - but, like me, you'll get there in the end. Then, when (and if) you complete a pilot study, it'll all make sense and you'll go back and cut out the half that's making your head hurt now.

No
Want a whole thesis to give to supervisor by Tuesday.
Can you find a review article/book on that method/area?

You are not alone jojo. I recommend giving yourself a couple of hours break and do something you enjoy though. I was feeling like that a few hours ago. In the end, I walked to the supermarket, bought some food for bbq. I was going to prepare dinner anyway, I thought we might as well have a bbq in the garden with my bf and his friend. Why don't you do something like that? Eat something you really like, watch something fun, speak to a friend for 10 minutes and go back to work. I know it sounds like a waste of time considering you need to finish it for monday, but it will actually make you more productive.

thanks guys. you're all so supportive. i've taken the better part of today off. spent the day printing papers, went to the supermarket, watched a bit of telly, spoke to a few friends. am now refreshed enough to have another go at it.

thanks once again, hope your work goes well as well.

exactly what bakuvia said. goodluck jojo

thanks everyone for your advice, sentiments etc. am taking it all on board and hopefully i should see the light at the end of the tunnel not so long from now.

cc - reviewing other methodologies has really helped. one more paper to read and i can get down to coming up with my own methodology. am so happy that am making some progress.

I'm glad my vague advice helped. Reviews are great, an expert basically does all the hard work for you

I'm still here, surrounded by paper. So much more of a struggle this morning
Anyone else suffering?

J

i just got up. today is D-day. i have to write or am doomed coz i have to hand in tomorrow. looking forward to it though. i work best under pressure. though starting is the hardest part of things.

Hope it went OK.
I'm in work as oposed to the comfort of home
Busy busy day ahead...
