How to finish my masters
It made me
wooohooooo
 "hard work, bitterness at the free people, but great sense of achievement now that I have done it."
How I did it: Really had to get through the feeling that I wanted to give up. Deferred for the second year and have just managed to battle through it all now. Just keep going is the advice. It will be over soon and the sense of achievement is amazing. And celebrate by selling all of your books on amazon at the end!! Lessons & tips: read loads well before you are supposed to start your dissertation just to be able to get a topic you really enjoy. Make sure you reference all of your notes fully for your dissertation well before you start. Saves time in the long run. Resources: nothing really. |

It made me
a better person.
How I did it: working full time during the day, I took classes online, on weekends and at night. I did my internship over the course of 2 years, getting up early during the week and working Saturdays to put in the extra time. I took care of my mind, body and emotional state by keeping my body active and running, and keeping a vast social network. I took time to relax, have fun and vacation. Read how I did it…

Starting my masters in 1998 was a proud moment and something I really wanted to do. Unfortunately I was not disciplined enough or focused to make the most of the time and opportunites given to me. I had no idea about qualitative research and seemed to go round and round reading. I let other things like going out, part time work and sport get in the way of serious study. In 2002/03 I managed to go out and complete 6 months of fieldwork which was a great achievement and a turning point in the project. I had a much better idea of my research field and gained alot in terms of how to undertake qualitative research… Coming home I was motivated to finish, but my application for a write-up stipend was rejected and I had to go back to work to support myself. Since 2004 I have hardly written another word, but every day my thoughts go back to the project. I am too embarrased to contact my supervisor and am stuck – finish it or just forget it??

Day 4

Yesterday I didn’t go to the gym, I almost haven’t spent any time with Ahmed all day, coz I kept working all the time. I wrote like 80% of the paper. Still adding the results. And I want to review the part about “Previous Work”. And here is the thing, the dead line of the conference has been postponed to June 1st, So I still have some time to review that paper as I wanted. I also downloaded the IEEE format for the papaer, And i think that organizing the paper will really take some time. Thank GOD for the extra time :)

I couldn’t do much yesterday. It was My cousin Omar’s little girl’s birthday. We had to go out early, get her a gift, then go to the party. So I really didn’t have enough time, but I made a TO DO list of the things I need to finish in order to send the paper today ISA. I hope I’ll make it all ISA

I’m back to working on the master’s. I need to set up a date for finishing so I can stick to it. I want to finish in July, which means I have like 2 months. I’ll try to finish in those 2 months.
I want to send a paper to a conference, the deadline is Saturday. So I have 4 days including today. I’ll do my best to send it. Then I’ll start writing the thesis, along with the unfinished work yet.
So today, Day1, I’ll start working on the paper.
