I've been on holiday at home (Boksburg home not Cape Town home) since last Thursday evening. Like always, it feels like I never left. And, like always, the moment I arrive I start feeling depressed about having to leave. But then I start missing friends, going out etc which makes me feel a bit better.
Anyways, have been thinking about this for a while and speaking to parents about it helped me decide. My project has been rubbish since the beginning, hasn't worked properly and I really don't know if I will actually be able to show anything positive. So I've decided that it's probably best to write it up as a technical Masters (basically "did this and that, didn't work and this is why and how in future will fix it) rather than upgrading to PhD and not being able to write up anything (for a PhD you actually need to prove something novel). Then at least I will have a degree behind my name.
Now the scary part starts. This means I have to start writing up by August to submit in December. I also have to start looking for a new supervisor (I'm not staying with this one and starting another failed project). Have been thinking of returning to Biochemistry roots, or doing some medical biochemistry PhD - that is if I can convince another supervisor to take me on. Hopefully my undergrad and honours marks impress them :).
Also, having the whole upgrading to PhD thing gave me a plan for the next 2 to 3 years, and now everything must happen in the next 6 months. Wow, it's so damn scary. I try not to think about it. Think I will be a diligent girl and start writing up in the evenings, doing things that take time like methods and results and stuff. Will also spend a lot of time praying I think :).
With the wonderfulness of iBurst (wireless internet) at my disposal at home, I have discovered (through the wonderfulness of last.fm) some great new (okay new to me cause I never new bout them) punky/rocky/emo bands - and downloaded like masses of songs onto my (yays) new laptop. Any suggestions of other similiar bands? I know I like the stuff but don't know who to listen to :).
