I have to read a lot of scholarly papers all week.
When I started, they said that I could just get two peer-reviewed papers accepted, and then I would be able to just put them together and call it a dissertation. I think it’s going to be considerably trickier than that. I think I need to write what I know, but put it into the context of the department. I still have to talk to my advisor about this.

I have been on a leave of absence from my PhD program for the past two years in order to get back on my feet after a divorce (had to get a job) and I have lost momentum and my sense of commitment. I have 7 years invested in graduate school and I will always regret it if I don’t finish the program.

I completed my challenge and handed it in on time. Unfortunately I keep thinking what I could have done better, but whatever-it’s done now, all I have to think about is completing uni.:)

Trying to get back into the swing of things with this goal. I’ve been attempting to read a load of books on the subject, and that’s pretty much all I’ve done. I guess I need some sort of plan. At the moment I think I’m just gonna attempt to do at least 3 hours a day on this goal. So far I’ve possibly done two today but that was mainly writing the bibliography (lol) and reading one book and underling it. I’ll see if I can finish it today and then maybe type up my notes although that’s perhaps a bit ambitious. I’ll do an update in a bit.

I’ve managed to get out five books on my subject and at the local library I was able to order in a few things. Now I have to just read through a load of this stuff. I’ve already ‘written’ my bib, check out easybib -love it!

and I’m not sure it counts in the same way that other degrees do. But its still quite a big deal and the horrible draft I sent to my superviser was royally ripped apart. So I need to work on this a lot, worst part is where to start as the writing I has is a mess and I probably need to read a lot more, and its due in October. Aah…

title of my undergrad dissertation, originally marked at 90, which is two hypothetical nonexistent qualifications above a first. marked down to 80 for some patches of sloppiness by a second marker, which i can live with, it still being as far above a first as a first is above a 2:1.
i’m fairly proud of this, obviously. hence bragging. i am starting to think about postgrad, so this one may have to be revived in a couple years. if this website still exists, if the internet still exists, etc.
