When the going gets tough....

I'm not getting anywhere!

Well.. I'm making SOME progress I guess..

I've not been blogging lately because there's too much to do and too many things to stress about. If I'd blogged everyday for the past week, it has to be one hell of a stressed blog log. I decided I didn't want to read back on my posts one day and see a record of such depressing stuff. So yea, no go.

Busy?

Yes, very.

My supervisor is a really really nice guy. He's from Melb Uni as well, he's young, he's helpful, he's enthusiastic, he's resourceful. Are you sensing a BUT in there somewhere? Well.. he is PERHAPS a little too enthusiastic. No problem with that under normal circumstances, but this moving house thing is driving me crazy. The "unavoidable circumstances" just keep coming. First it's the property delay then now there's a phone line problem which is just as worse. Come on, what do all research students need most? Research papers! And where to get them? ONLINE!

No phone line = No Internet

Ok. Like I said, no extensive record on bad stuff. I just want the phone line fixed!

Otherwise, Ben is the supervisor I wished for. He keeps me on track, gives me a lot of resources and handy tips. The most important thing is, he makes me believe that I know what I'm doing. Which I probably am but just doesn't feel like it these days. He gives me things to do each week to the extent that we are three weeks ahead of schedule on the list of things we need to do for the research. For the past hour I've practically filled in 80% of the ethics application which needs to be filed two weeks from now. Tonight's work will be re-drafting the proposal and going into depth on some of the literature. Over the weekend I could fiddle more with the GNAT program and figure out a solid design for our experiment.

Gosh, I can't believe I have yet to explain what my research is about in detail. I suppose I could always post up my thesis proposal when I finalize it tonight.

At the mean time.. I need to make sure I can get online next week :/ good luck to that!

Am I getting anywhere? I sure hope so.
