Keeping me on task有ou needs to write her thesis!

[sweetiepi]

Whoa what. That's a lot of lit, mine was only meant to be 10. How big are they expecting the thesis to be??

Aside from the 35 pages worth of text total, no idea how big they expect to be lmao 😂

I've got until 27th October. My intro/methods/results have just been sent off for their final revision, so all I'm doing is putting off the discussion (I have no excuse lmao). Psych just has a word min/max of 9~12k words for the whole thing and I'm sitting at about 7k.

So jealous of that due date!

Ooft so soon! Good luck!!!

Daily update: Transfered over the first subsection of results!

[sweetiepi]

Daily update: Too tired today to focus on the actual thesis, just did a bit of editing instead (that's also important too!)

[sweetiepi]

Weekend update: updated and analysed some of my graphs for my thesis, have put them the thesis. Fixed some format errors I had.

[sweetiepi]

Update: wrote some of my discussion today!

[sweetiepi]

Honest update: I haven't written anything since Monday. And I'm okay with this because sometimes things happen.

I'm making up for it tomorrow at home, I'll have a bumper thesis writing day ahead! <3

Update:
Yesterday:
- Ripped up my discussion and dot pointed it all out based on discussions I had with supervisor during the week
- Finished off two parts of my methods that were super long
- Fixed graphs up to reflect what they actually represented

Today:
- Proofread methods from yesterday
- Added a couple of graphics in the methods that look pretty fancy (thanks BioRender )
- Fixed my line spacing to 1.5 (I realised half of my pages were on 1 and the other half was on 1.5)

[sweetiepi]

Today: did some minor editing and dot pointing in my intro/lit review. Also trashed most of a page of my methods as I had a whole page dedicated to repeating essentially the same thing at least four times with only one thing different each time. It's important to cut the waffle sometimes! Also added some dot points to some methods so I have a starting point when I next touch the methods.

Nothing special today, given I hauled my bum out to uni today

[sweetiepi]

Today I:
- finalised my glosssary
- added to my intro/literature review
- added some details into my methods

[sweetiepi]

No actual writing progress today, I've just been reading papers so that I can add to the tail end of my intro/literature review. It is kind of hard to do this when there's so little on one topic, and about 10 million papers on another, and sifting through all of them to make a rich intro/lit review is difficult!

Hey fren!! A little bird told me this is due in a couple of weeks - can we get an update on any more progress, or maybe a study plan to help you get it all done? <3

[sweetiepi]

It's been a while, but I had to put the thesis writing on hold whilst I had some coursework to do last week, and then I was mentally dead over the weekend.

So! I'm back, and I'm happy to report that the my methods section is done (in its first draft iteration). This is very good <3
I'm also in the middle of analysing my results (and making my head hurt in the process), so I'm getting there!

Dammit Poet I was typing my update whilst you posted <3

Sounds like you're making great progress, insanipi! Good luck for the next few weeks of speed typing

Collecting people in a room together where all you do is write is one method I recommend, works best if these people are in your honours cohort and so have the same deadline. Particularly if you do it at all hours while living inside the said room at university without anyone finding out - bonus points if you can locate a nearby convenience store to go buy chocolate milk from between short walking breaks

[sweetiepi]

Update: lmao I procrastinated today, but I'm fixing up the majority of my results, alongside writing bits of my discussion at present. Tomorrow will be my big day of smashing the keys

I'll need to speedtype fast if my supervisor expects a first draft by Friday -inserts imagery of Kermit smashing a typewriter-

I wish we could do this, but the uni is already shirdy that we hang about in the tuterooms during our spare time between labs (that, and I'm an actual sleepyhead and will fall asleep, which will make the uni mad hahaha)
