I'm FREEEEEE!!!! YUPPIII!!!

Finally!! This Friday I defended my Thesis!!! It was the last time that I had to meet my ex-boss as my supervisor, I'm finally done with the lab. :) And I'm happy!!

I had a good grade, so... all is good. :)

This chapter of my life is closed, a new one is starting... let's see what is to come. :)

At the request of several families (my Sister)...

... and because I was a bad sister and didn't do a Happy Birthday post for my Younger Sister:

Here is an update!!! :)

Almost at the end of another month (I have to become more assiduous in this blog).
Well the big news is that I am going to defend my Thesis this Friday, meaning that all be finally done with that particular period in my life (and about time). Other than that every thing is more or less the same.

And has belated Birthday post here is something from my and my sister's childhood. ;)

Madonna - Like a Virgin (ohhh so many memories :D, isn't it sis?!)

And.... It's Done!!

What's that?!!

My Thesis... Finally!!! Ready to be delivered... :D

It has a total of 124 pages... It's huge...

I feel accomplished!!!

Life...

I've been completely absent from this blog...

My life has been more or the less the same for these past few months, a struggle to write my thesis, but if before it was painful but in the end I was able to write... now it doesn't hurt has much, but I'm completely unable to write... sad isn't it... :(
If it wasn't for my pride I think I would have given up already... (and that's really sad)

Besides the thesis what I've been up to?!

Well, I went to spend some days at my Dad's place, to bond a little with him and my baby brother. :D It was a pleasant time, my baby brother is growing very well and I'm a proud sister :D (but I have to add that I'm a proud sister to all my siblings :D).

Other than that, I've been listening to a lot of Japanese music, especially Miyavi. :)

And I've been using my new found interest in Japanese music has a way to escape from my thesis work. I've been so good at it that I've been almost completely unaware of what's going on the world and in my home country (bad girl). So today I decided to scan through the news, and sometimes I think it's better to be unaware, because so sad events happen. I'm not talking about the Natural Disasters, has pain that they might be, there's not much us Humans can do about them, except try to warn everybody has soon has possible. I'm talking about the wars that occur throughout the planet and the crimes against innocent people.

Why do we insist on wounding Mankind continuously?

In the end, We all are gonna be responsible for our own downfall... And We still call ourselves the rational species and the superior species...

Thesis (once more...)

So haven't talked about my thesis (or anything else for that matter) for a while...

A quick update: I've finished writing everything!! It should be a good sign, no?! No!! Even though my supervisor complained in June (26th, I think) that I wasn't writing has fast has she wanted and that she wanted everything ready be the end of July. She completely ignored all the complete chapters that I send her through out the month of July. I had all the chapters written by the end of July!! But she got stuck on the second (of six) chapters and didn't bother to call me and ask me to go talk with her.

In the end, I went to Porto in the 1st or 2nd of August, after a series of insults (for me were insults) and after she had read the remaining 4 chapters overnight. And, of course, the work sucked and everything has to be re-written. But in the end the only thing that she wants is to me to copy what she has already written without having to explain anything... She doesn't want to teach, she wants work slaves...

Chapter 5 - COMPLETED and SENDED!!!

The only chapter that remains to be written is the conclusions...

Almost... almost finished... :)

Chapter 3 - COMPLETED!! :D

In less than a week a completed a Chapter!!! Yurraiii for me!! :D

If it wasn't for the f*****g blockages it would have been written in 3/4 days... Well, that's life I've already decided not to struggle against it...

I'm a chapter closer to ending this Thesis!!

P.S. - I didn't wrote a word the all weekend, so...

Thesis part n+1 :P

So, today I finally wrote. :)

I really must stop planning my work, because when I say: "Tomorrow I'll write!!" it's when not even a word comes out from these fingers.
Today wasn't a perfect day... If it had been, I had written the complete Introduction for my 3rd Chapter. I only wrote about half of it. On the good side, I already know what I want to say next, and I took note of the topics on the page... (So I don't forget it tomorrow when I sit in front of this computer again.)

It's terrible the way my brain works, it won't allow me to push him. I think I really pushed it to much over the years, and now it just won't work when it doesn't want to... I remember that I was able to start working at 9 in the morning until 1 in the evening, with just a 1h stop to lunch. I really over did it... There's nothing I can do about it now, unless let it have his way (I like to have my brain healthy, thank you!! :P)

On a side note, I listened to a lot of Japanese Music today!! :D

Life...

I've been completely absent from this blog... Well, between my new found world of Japanese Rock and the Thesis I heaven't had time to do much more on the PC. Besides, there's nothing really new to report in my life.

Today was a good day when it comes to my Thesis, I've reread all the articles I need to write the third chapter. :) Yurraiii for me!! :D
That's a new thing that I haven't mention yet, I yesterday I finished making the Introduction modifications that my supervisor asked, and started working on the 3rd the chapter. :)
Tomorrow, if everything goes has expected, I'll write!! (Don't know how much, hopefully more than a sentence...). I'd like to have this chapter completed by the end of the week.

Concerning everything else...

I just discovered that my favourite band ever (LAMB) made a collaboration SUGIZO (one of the members of S.K.I.N.) in 1997. I already knew this song and loved it, but I didn't know who was the author of the song.

SUGIZO – Kanon

Japanese Music!! Part II

I was supposed to be inserting my supervisor's corrections to my Introduction Chapter.. I'm completely distracted... I'm so wishing to be across the Atlantic Ocean (and almost all the USA) right now... I would love to go and see the premiere of S.K.I.N. (a new band that includes the two Japanese artists that I referred some posts ago)...

Well, I will see if can concentrate...

A good day!!

Today (well, yesterday) was a good day!! In 2 days a wrote a full section of the chapter I'm working on.

This was after almost 4 days of blockage... Even though I'm happy I was able to write it this fast, I still get a bit frustrated because if I wasn't blocking so much I would have my thesis almost written by now...

Well, one has to accept what is given to her...

P.S. - Wednesday I´m back to Porto to talk to my supervisor. (Wish me luck.)

To Cry or to Laugh - That's The Question!!!

Really!! Sometimes people are just funny (?!)....

After the fantastic news that my supervisor gave me yesterday saying that I should redo all my Thesis, today she send me another "gentle and caring" e-mail. This e-mail states and I quote:

"Tamuril, since your work is delayed here's a little help. The text concerns the Introduction and Discussion for the first chapter of your Thesis."

SINCE MY WORK IS DELAYED!!!! Who the hell is she to say that to me!! Over the past 2 MONTHS she did not care to know how the writing was going.... I get so.... arrggghhhhhhh.....

I sincerely do not know if I should cry or laugh when comes to my Thesis or my Supervisor....

Anger!!!

Ohhh god!!! I'm so angry!!! And frustrated!! Why?!

Because of my thesis!!! But especially because of my supervisor!!!

After spending 2 months writing and finally getting something done, my supervisor decides to tell me that a Thesis is not written has I thought it was... After 2 months she remembered... Is she joking with me!!!!

I'm so glad I'm not there right now... I do not know what I would do if she was standing in front of me....

FINISHED!!!

Yupiiii!!! I've finished my Results' Chapter!!! Finally!!!

I just send it to my supervisor, so she can read it and correct it. But I think it's about it. I do not know what she's going to say, but I'm happy. It took me a whole month to write it!!

Next: I'll finish my Introduction chapter, it's about half written.

P.S. - I've been absent because of the work. Tuesday I had to go back to Porto to speak to my supervisor. Where I discovered I had to repeat a section that I had already concluded. But, well, it only took two additional days to do everything. :D

Absence...

I've been a little absent from the blog world. Has I said my little sis is back from Germany, but just for a few days, and I've been enjoying her company while she's here. :)

The only thing is that it completely turned by thesis plans upside down, and I have to finish by Results chapter by the end of the week. So, she went to visit our Dad (today is his b'day :)), while I stayed home working.

Well, at least he'll have her, which is the one must difficult to be with.

Today's work

Despite of all of the procrastinating I've done today, I feel like in the end the day payed off. I haven't written a single word, but the research I've done will help the writing tomorrow.

(I just hate the models and statistics.... arghhhh!! But, eventually I'll have to learned them, even if I don't fully understand them!! I'm doing the work of 2 years and 1/2 in two months...)

Procrastinating...

Yesterday a great day... today.... procrastinating...

hmmm...

Better get over it....

Hard Day Work!!! :) (part II)

After yesterday's frustrations, today I had a good day's work! I wrote another complete sub-section of my Results Chapter!!

But I'm still mad and disappointed with how things are done in the group I worked!!

Hope tomorrow will be has good has today!! :)

The faster I get this Thesis complete the better for me!!

Frustration is the word of the day!!!

I feel so frustrated!!! I just feel like crying, screaming and giving up of everything!!

I do not think that the end result will compensate all the harm I'm doing to myself at the moment by continuing to try to write my thesis!!!

Every single day is a struggle to work and get anything done!!

On the other hand, I know that I will regret if I do not finish this!! I expect more of myself!!

Maybe tomorrow I'll feel little bit better!!

Hard Day Work!! :)

Today I had a good day work!!! I just wrote a complete sub-section of my Thesis' Results chapter!!! Yupiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!

I haven't had day like this not ever since I begun writing my thesis!!!

So, yeah, it was a good day!!! :D
