Research Methods

Well i thought an update was due, i haven’t updated in a good while as i have been stressing over getting my MSc Research Methods sorted which i have finally done, with a big thanks to my Aunty for proof reading my essay a few times. She was impressed as my essay was very much at the right standard, and i have now submitted it today, and it matches the marking criteria so i should be able to pass now problem now :)

What a Busy Weekend

Well last weekend went very quickly and we are almost half way to the next weekend! Last weekend was particularly busy, i played hockey on Saturday for Chester against sale hockey club, i enjoyed playing. Once again i gave 110% and pushed myself even when i was feeling tired, I was busy attacking the left wing. I have pretty much made the left wing my position when i play hockey now., though occasionally play up front or the right wing. I enjoy left wing as i have to work twice as hard, and iam really starting to feel like i can control the game much better now.

On Sunday although uneventful i got down to writing my research methods for my masters, and i succeeded in making the essay up-to nearly 4000 words :) So glad that is happy, also i have sorted out my dissertation idea and know exactly what i want to do for it, which is much better :)

A Big Update

Well i haven’t blogged for a long time, i just havent had the time of late, also just found it a chore to blog. I have wanted to but found other things to do. I have lots of things going on:

My Masters is going well, though I have kind of realised for my research methods and untimately for my dissertation i had lost my way on why i was doing the idea of social networking, although i was doing an literacy based research idea i have realised this will not be good enough and not as benifical for a good level for my disseration. So i have decided to change my topic and have found a much better topic one which is “social networking with sharepoint” this will allow me to link it too my job which will help me much better.

Working full time, i now am getting much more responsibility within my job as i help look after timetabling services and backup services, and lots of website developments, so very busy at the moment.

Hockey i have been playing lots lately been training more than twice a week at the moment, i am getting very fit, but as a consequence i have picked up quite a few injuries, i have bruised ribs at the moment which i did last week in a game for University,  and i further injured them on Wednesday at a away game at Lancaster University. I enjoyed playing i must admit, but they hurt quite abit so i am not playing on Saturday for club now, don’t want to risk it.

All in all i lead a very busy busy life, but its better to be busy than be bored. :)
