Yeah... Sometimes it seems a bit overwhelming.
But... I think it really is doable. And as usual... Its my own fault for leaving the bulk of the hard work so late. But then it really is hard not to...I remember talking to some people doing their PhD and they were saying the majority write their thesis in 6 months. Because... You read and think and write but the trouble is your views evolve and your emphasis changes and so what you write needs to be reworked or trashed anyway. Its not till you have 6 months that you actually sit down and write the darned thing... And theirs is about 2 1/2 X the length of mine and so I really do think it is possible for me to do this...
> PS- whatcha doing on babble? I saw your name on social....hmmm are you working ;-)?Heh heh. Finished my chapter for today.
Well... Will go tidy it up now and I might even get a head start on tomorrows lot.Have to take a day to move house (across campus) next week too...
Okay... I'm going now ;-)
