The D Word

Published by Andrew on 01/08/2010 in Blog and University. Closed Tags: dissertation.

Seriously don’t mention the D word.

The D word is to blame why i don’t blog as much and because work is busy and my blog is a rollercoaster some months i feel like bogging and some months i don’t.

Ok i shall enlighten you all. The D word mean Dissertation, speak to any third year doing their undergraduate dissertation and you calmly don’t mention the D word around them as they will be trying to juggle it around essays, sports and having a social life. I on the other hand are juggling it around working full time work, and that it for the moment, but come September i know that will change as the new hockey season will be under-way and i know my social life will in defiantly pick up since people will be returning to Chester.

But on a plus note although i dont like mentioning the D word, i am actually currently on track with my Dissertation, today i wrote my third chapter, which gives me a running total of 5000 words written so far out of three chapters. Pretty good going so far, write the next big chapter which will be about 4000 words will mean i will be nearly half way through my dissertation.

Now all im waiting on is my feedback from the ethics committee which would be rather nice, so i know its been ethically approved.

Masters Results

Published by Andrew on 09/02/2010 in University. Closed Tags: dissertation.

So its been awhile since i updated my blog, this because im normally quite busy and to be honest when ive been at working sitting in front of a computer all day, all i want to do is chill out and take a break from it all. So in the future i may blog less and use my blog as a personal website to pull in all of my online interactions into one place and display them as a lifestream.

But anyway i finally got my masters results in and i have successfully passed all of my modules though i did have to do two resits of them, and it took me longer than a year to get them finished, actually nearly 3 years to get them done, but least i have them sorted now I should have had them sorted last year, but with the transition of going from full time student, to working full time, to having my own flat, playing hockey every weekend i think took its toll, but i found my way back and they have now been sorted .

So now the next step will be me to start on my dissertation, which im aiming to do as soon as possible, i just need to get in my dissertation proposal which i hope i can get in next week, its 2000 words so much smaller than what im use to as the normal essay i have written in the past is 4000 words. And i have all of the required material for the essay so thats a bonus.

Though my masters will be a dauting task, 16000 words is alot, but im nearly there now, it will all be worth it in the end .
