getting organized
things i need to do this week, off the top of my head:

DOCUMENTS OFF on Friday
- APPLY TO HELD SUMMER SCHOOL!! DEADLINE JUNE 1ST
further notes:
- a&a will send me previous PhD students’ theses as examples
- meet A. in June in Glasgow?
- end of June: deadline for first draft
- look into Lippi-Green and ask A for those two sources
- post on Plansız Şeyler to advertise TESOL multiling edu chat
- email A. again for a few other backup conferences for the findings chapter, the ones you found last night. try to also look for ones that will publish proceedings!
ideally:
- write 750 words for the findings 1 chapter after supervisory meeting by Sunday. this might be affected by the sheer amount of things you need to do + vaccination side effects, so don’t stress too much!
- translate 500 words for the project
PROOFREADING DUE BY END OF MONTH- STOP APPLYING TO JOBS
Also your guy here is going to EPC2022 this end of the month so if any phdblr in sociology/demography is there hit me up with a dm/ask and we can chat!
Incidentally, it’s my first conference ever so if anyone has tips and tricks about making the most of conferences, let me know
Slooooooooowly easing back in the normal work routine.
I think my body is still in his restless mode - i feel constantly hungry and I’m not sleeping great :(
But today i am doing some data work and next week in all likelihood i will manage to do some analysis of those data for my third dissertation chapter and things are not looking too bad on that side :)
The morning passed between a covid test (negative) and a couple of emails, now it’s almost lunch time and i am staring blankly at my work from before the vacation trying to understand what i was doing and where I was going with it.
Comment your code and keep extensively annotated logs, kids, or you will lose yourself in your former “self-explanatory” stuff.
It’s one of those days where not even doom metal is helping
Today was a quite productive day, if I say so myself.
I feel like my data prep is officially done, I have a decent amount of cases and ready to do the whole amount of regressions tomorrow
It’s incredible how one can be productive without seminars splitting the day in half.
I also tried to practice self-discipline and take breaks to browse a bit online separately from work. And that worked? I feel like I have been more productive this way. Snack = break = browse for ten minutes while snacking. Then back to work.
I might be getting this dissertation done if I can keep this up
