I'm having one of those days where I've forgotton why I wanted to do a PhD in the first place, I even looked up jobs I could get instead of doing this (there weren't any though so guess I'm stuck here!) I used to be so motivated and focused - I don't know where it's all gone!

Chocolate?

Up and down days are normal in whatever you do, so don't be downhearted. I came in early today with a view to getting lots of stuff done.. so far I have read half a paper, been on here, facebook and myspace.. Maybe an extra hour or two in bed would have been better!

Oh dear facebook...why write a PhD when you can spend a happy few hours stalking people from the comfort of your own desk!

at least everyday has its own downs & ups. In my case am fighting hard to get started wt phd
