www.megabus.com – 1 pound to LONDON

Oh infor for those who are new to the UK… catch a bus from Coventry to London for only ONE pound!!! Ive been using this bus for a couple of times now..very convenient esp if u want to do a one day shopping in London. The bus leaves coventry at the bus stand infront of the transport museum…

They are going to revise the schedule for Dec onwards…. i hope that they will have more services from here to London!!! Or to anywhere else…

Its comfortable and the bus interiour is somewhat new… the journey would only take about 2 hours and 20 minutes…

Meeting with Supervisor

Praise God!!! The meeting went very well.. Vinesh is very pleased with my progress.. i feel so relieved now… He asked me to consider writing a conference paper on my findings. I will do that Nov while playing about with the hardware and software for haptics. Hmmm my planning at the moment:

1. Nov 1st – 7th
Finetuning findings – do more comparative studies (critical analysis)-documents findings and flow of ideas for paper

2. Nov 8th -11th Break (Cousin will be here)

3. Nov 12th – 13th – Create idea flow/skeleton of paper

4. Nov 14th – Dec 3rd – pilot testing (haptic h/w and s/w)

5. Dec 4th – 7th – Retrospect on findings, write on them, plan for after Dec

6. Dec 8th – 31st – HOLIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

God willing.. all will be flowing smoothly….

Monday…

Ive accepted a master student for my msc project topic last week. I've got a few applicants but accepted this student based on his drive and sense of commitment. The rest are excellent as well but I think they will gain more from other projects. So apart from my teaching responsibilities, I will have to supervise this new academic year.

Right… will be meeting my supervisor at 10 am..I hope and pray that he will be very happy with my progress. Hope to get words of wisdom and motivation from him today!!! God willing!!!!!!!

Ok gotta go now… its 8 minutes to…..

End of the week progress…

Managed to complete most of my 3 chapters. Will need to add more reviews. Will study more surgery simulations examples and compare them in terms of the concepts, methods and technology employed and tabulate the findings… i emailed my supervisorthe first draft of the 3 chapters this afternoon. I do hope my meeting with him will go well on Monday.. then I can comfortably add to my report and somehow (thou prematurely) start on the remaining chapters. I know its only 3 months since I had my research direction and scope confirmed. But it gives me the peace of mind… i will hopefully attempt a pilot testing on the s/w and h/w in Nov. Gosh ill be away the whole of Dec.. God willing.. i'm sure i can get some work done before i indulge in my other extracurriculars hehe :)
