So, first weekend after being back at uni now.
I'm starting to think that maybe it's a good idea I'm not going to be working four days at work, considering I didn't get as much as I would hope done over the weekend. Worked both Saturday and Sunday, so I think for future, I'll have to pick either Monday or Wednesday (days I have nothing on at uni) to be my Work-on-Honours-Project-Day. Still need to do work on one of the other days though. Three days of work isn't so bad.
Anyway, tasks that were set to be completed over the weekend:
- Update this blog every single day <-- Done, sorta, some backlogged entries in there
- Throw up entries with notes from meeting and from class <-- Meeting notes done, class notes not done
- Read through the report/thesis that Ian gave me <-- got up to page 4 or 5...
- Understand it, pay attention to detail, style - completely different style, not narrative, is informative <-- see above
- Prepare papers to read for literature review (remember to mention this on Tuesday supervisor meeting) <-- To do on Tuesday
- Research Proposal - Why is this being done? What do I hope to achieve? <-- ...
Didn't get as much as I hoped I would. It's so damn distracting at home, I think I may head out to the uni early on either Thursday or Friday and just sit in the labs to do work on my project and start on the project proposal.
I ended up getting in contact with Bruce to let him know that I'll be in Brisbane over April, so I'm missing two presentations I think. Ideally, I want to get the presentations finished early, so (hopefully) I can present before I go. Otherwise, Bruce has agreed to do them when I get back. Still, I'd prefer to be ahead rather then behind.
The wiki on the project home page I've been neglecting. I started doing some work on it Saturday night (technically, Sunday, early, early morning) and fell asleep part way through. Currently, I can only seem to work during night when most of the family is asleep.
New To-Do-List:
- Update this blog every single day
- Throw up entries with notes from class
- Continue reading through the report/thesis that Ian gave me
- Understand it, pay attention to detail, style - completely different style, not narrative, is informative
- Prepare papers to read for literature review (remember to mention this on Tuesday supervisor meeting)
- Research Proposal - Why is this being done? What do I hope to achieve?
- Look at modelling approaches
- Update project Wiki, fill with relevant information
- Update project sources, particularly sites mentioned in posts here
See how that goes anyway.
