I had honestly forgotten just how much I hated thesis work.... I am currently rewriting Chapter Two: Experimental on the grounds that it's the easiest and therefore it makes a good first hurdle to feel good that you've acomplished something. Unfortunally I also remember the other chapters and have spotted several mistakes that my supervisor/examiners missed.... like converting the percentage of oxygen present into Torr. That's wrong throughout and so are all my graphs and calculations. But as my supervisor said when I mentioned it to him, "well, they made the assumption that it was correct so I wouldn't worry about it too much if it's close......" I think eight percent difference is fairly close.....
Anyway, I have been fairly good while sitting here at this computer, not cruising the internet and wasting time, though I did have the radio on just so I didn't try to beat myself over the head one of these large books. I have had to put up with the sun being in my eyes for about four hours and the fact that I left my USB drive up in the house I'm staying in. Not too bad apart from the very long climb all the way up the hill.....
I have also decided not to use Facebook while I'm here, apart from to accept people as friends. Or at least people I know as friends, those that I don't know just have their requests left there.
Well, another half hour or so and then I think I'll head off and have some dinner!!!
