Out of the Tunnel

I haven’t blogged for a long while. I was ill for six weeks before Christmas but forced myself to study; scared that I would get behind. In some ways it was therapeutic as it took my mind off things. Christmas came and went and now I’m in the last year (hopefully) of the PhD.
It’s difficult to find anything worth sharing at the moment. If there was a webcam feed from my study it would make for rather dull watching. It’s all about editing, editing and editing. This is the hard slog part of the process. I’ve written here before about self motivation and it continues to apply. It takes effort to get up every morning sit at the laptop and concentrate for hours on end.
I have got stuck into the thesis. I have narrowed it down from what I originally proposed and have a framework in place. More research to be done but I now know what to focus on. I’m planning to submit a poster in March and this is proving a helpful milestone.
