I know how you're feeling dude. I am also in my first year and find it difficult to get a clear picture of where i am headed at the moment but i have been advised that with time it will all be revealed
I have a journal where i write my thoughts, ideas and occurence of the day. That would help when you need to refer to some ideas in the future.
The best to us all!
It seems like a very good investment then.
I don't have endnote
Exactly so. I am also a few months in (four months) and i had it bad a few weeks ago- feeling like i had no idea what i was doing. I felt like i did not know anything! At the moment things are not too bad but are going really well but i still do not know a great deal.
This is the norm and is totally acceptable. With time things will change.
I totally agree. Googlebooks has made me discover amazingly good materials (but not downloadable unfortunately).
Studying envinronments are quite different for most people. Genrally i do not mind a little background noise but for something i need to total concentration to understand, absolute silence is needed
I strongly agree
jojo, i do sympathise with what you're going through right now though i may not be able to comprehend in full. I hope you are feeling better in health.
You will find out that not many people will understand what you're going through especially when you need them to.
As for your health hindering your submission, all i can say to all of your troubles is keep hoping and carry on no matter what. Talk to your boyfriend and share your feelings with him. If he still doesn't understand then, i think you should forget him and stop relying on him for support.
lol golpro.
sozaboy, i think i will look hideous in dreads!
At least it pushes me to get stuck in and not waste valuable time.
Haha, i understand what you mean about making up results
I was reading what sjo4 said was the good bits and i just had to laugh because almost none of them applies ion my case.
-I am not my own boss (my industrial supervisor is on my neck every two minutes demanding results)
-I do not make my own hours (working according to company time + my own extra work time)
-I have to ask for time off to go to the dentist
-I can take breaks but not as i like lest i feel the whip of my supervisor
-I definately cannot take as much holidays as i like
-I can't come in hungover (because i don't drink) except from excess work!
-I can't do what i want but must do whatever the company says (mostly anyway.
-I can try to make up stuff about my work but won't get away with it for long because my supervisor knows too well the application of my current project.
Wow, i feel depressed now. What ARE my good bits exactly?....
You got that right Tricky
Olivia, i do not know if this would help but i has for me in the past when working with massive table. You know the margin control on the top of your word document, if you adjust both the start and end margins by moving it closer to the start and to the end respectively. All your work should be accomodated depending on the size.
It was nervewrecking but i was commended for having the bravery to present someone elses work and even answer questions well concerning the subject.
Bottom line...you can start putting your work out there at any time.
Best wishes.
