Me! Working working trying to get my 2nd year report 'draft paper' written. Bored, having problems with Stats and my data is all too much like hard work for me.

Anyone got any tips to stop feeling drowsy at the desk and convincing yourself that you need a nap!

Nice to know not alone out there!

Hi Folks, I am trying to write up a paper on animal behaviour and a guy working with me said I need to use a split plot analysis for non independent variables although he didn't know how to do it!... Anyone know how to do this in Minitab?

Thanks guys so much for your messages, its nice to know that I am not the only idiot out there. Its going much better now guys, think I might get there!

Hi. Its so hard leaving a PhD, and I am considering my options now. However a PhD is not an easy path to tread and if you are struggling now, might be worth thinking long and hard how you're gonna feel in 2 years time if you stay..

Be great to hear how you get on....

Hi Keith, did you register for the ptime PhD? I am PhDing while working Full time and it is really not easy - considering my options to be honest.
be great to hear how your getting on

Anyone else lulled into "what a good idea it would be" to do a PhD whilst working full time? I did. If I had my time again I would run so far off to outta mongolia than make the same decision! I wondered if there was anyone else out there who was feeling desperately unhappy.
