    ARGHHHHH
    I have a paper to write and submit in a week's time but I have no motivation whatsoever to even look at the data. I'll admit, it's all a mess but if I could just make myself sit down and do it...

    And have deadline to hand in thesis (end of January) but have not even finished the experiments or started writing up properly yet.
    :eek: can I write a thesis in 6 weeks?

    yes - because i have to believe it's possible as i anticipate being in the same situation a few months later!!
    maybe you could ration MSE as a reward you can only have after every 1000 words you write?! ;) i always need goals to help me worth through bad patches!!

    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.
