Hello everyone, I hope you're all feeling well today! At the moment I feel pretty tired despite having done more or less nothing all day. I suppose I feel a bit fidgety too almost irritated and possibly stressed. I want to apologise in advance just in case this blog entry turns out to be depressing or just uneventful.
On the upside I can say that my dissertation is coming along nicely and I finally finished transcribing my focus group interviews this morning. I seem to have been transcribing forever, firstly because it was a skill that I needed to develop and secondly because I used my laptop to type them up and then some how lost the files and had to start all over again. Based on the initial reading of my transcripts I can certainly say there are some interesting provisional themes present, so the thematic analysis should be fun and hopefully won't take too long as I have some ideas for themes already. As I mentioned a few days ago, my quantitative analysis is now complete too. So all is looking good for having a draft of my dissertation by the 23rd March, and then I can start work on my final assignments too.
I suppose the downside of things is having more or less no social life. I kind of wish that I could go out more often than I do, then again I do enjoy working on my dissertation and often moan if I waste my time. Also, I get tired easily lately, so majority of time is spent either studying or sleeping. I really do hate sounding pessimistic but I kind of feel grouchy at the moment. Another thing I actually want is a boyfriend. It's just difficult having strong feelings for someone who you can't be with for a number of reasons. Sometimes it almost feels pointless having such feelings, but at least I accept that there is no problem in having any feelings now....
Actually I'm off to bed now because I'm kind of over-tired. I'll write tomorrow when and if I'm in a better mood. tata for now
