Document your daily successes

I've decided to put chapters 5 and 6 aside; they may be considered rough drafts but ones that will need quite a lot of filling in and refining. Chapter 7 is thus getting started. I also received an email from my supervisor about chapter 4, giving very positive feedback. I'm so happy now and must keep at it.

Post a quote du jour

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together. -- Julia Roberts

Keep a daily journal of your life

It was a long day. But perhaps it was so because it started late. Got a bit (ie a very tiny bit) of work done before going to the PhD seminar. It was a new format today, not the usual talk but three poster presentations were given. In the evening, there was a subject formal hall. Two high tables were set up in Sidgwick Hall. It seemed Newnham have a lot more MML, Linguistics and Oriental Studies students this year than last. Got back just in time to see Desperate Housewives. I liked how Bree said, I loved him deeply, without showing any emotions. The night ended with a call from Shirley, who is going to submit her thesis soon. I'm jealous!
