finish my masters thesis

Just finished the results section…. I see light at the end of the tunnel…

WoW!!!

Well, the lousy weather is conducive to staying inside and writing. I just finished the literature review that would never end. Some days a paragraph was a huge success, others I managed to write a couple of pages. I’ve heard that’s the slowest part. Today I take a break (Happy New Year!!!) and tomorrow I start on my methodology. I have to take advantage of this time off from work…

There’s no fixed deadline and its a gorgeous day. The process and the project is so big. I need to break it down into sizable chunks and that’s hard. How do I organize everything I’m reading and still need to read.I’m even less motivated since my advisor told me he’s really busy and could I please wait a couple of weeks to see him. Of course he’d squeee me in, but I don’t have antything concrete to talk to him about, I just wanted a check in to keep myself motivated, so I’m waiting two weeks and meanwhile so unmotivated.

I’m also doing things out of order. so the task is bigger because I’m coding data at the same time I’m reading for my literature review. I work full time and loose the train of thought from weekend to weekend when I have chunks of time to sit down and work. Sometimes I feel like if I just keep plugging away and other times I feel like I just need to give up and make myself crazy, work on it in the evenings more. Just be immersed in it. But I’m so stressed with other parts of my life that I can’t seem to make myself.

I hope checking in here can help me out. It helped me over a year ago when i was unemployed and looking for work. I’m hoping posting my goals here might help.

So this weekend I will minimally: finish reading 1 book and write up notes on it. Gotta go.
