Progress report

Remember a while ago I prepared a very detail progress report. My tutor might need me to summarise it for the review panels. Noooooo all that effort!!! I think I might just submit the complete report that tells the whole story about my research and my achievements to date. But shall see later. Maybe IF I need to (with arms twisted), I might summarise it to maybe half the volume. :) Shall see…

Back at Uni

Feeling a bit sad that the long weeked is over. Now back at uni with piles of work to attend to. One more dissertation resubmission to mark and more literatures to review for the next stage of my research. I pray for wisdom, strength, peace and joy in Jesus’ name!!!! Amen. I’ll get through the next few months with productive end to each day.

Looking forward to my cousin coming over to Cov the weekend after. Hope the weather will be lovely. We are planning to take a steam train trip (choo choo train haha) from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth. Did that in 2005. Looking forward to visit the lovely village town again!! Am sure my cousin will enjoy it as well. Bridgnorth is quite medieval with lots of charm.

But before that, I would need to complete a substantial amount of work. I pray that I would complete my planned experiment next week. Oh and I need to start on my poster for the uni poster competition. I have not started yet!!!

Progress

I’ve not written any specific things about my research. I believe that I have to keep it safe from public access for the time being. Enough to say that one breakthrough leads to another. By the grace of God I hope to achieve major breakthroughs soon.

Currently revamping the paper/journal that I wrote last year. I believe that it’s much better now that the argument flow is smoother. Hope to complete it by Tuesday next week. Hope to hear what Vinesh would think of it. Other things to do:

i) Extension to experiments
ii) Progress report
iii) PhD Conference (June)
iv) Progress Review (May or June)

Gosh I will be in my 3rd year come May. Scary!!!!! In Jesus’ name, I will get through it with ease!!!! Amen!

Then I did some minor changes to the paper. I will still need to review mesh-less algorithms… but i guess enough for the day.. am exhausted!!! Well from 6 page paper ..now it is 8 page… will need to edit later to make it more compact.. get rid of any redundancy and do more referencing throughout the paper.

PhD…where am I at???

Have been up to nothing incredibly outstanding on the research front… Managed to rephrase my research question today as well as the intermediate questions that would somehow act as vital milestones. I'm yet to complete my comparative analysis, which will not only answer the first intermediate research question but will also act as the soul of my yet-to-materialise paper. The conference paper has to be put on hold last week. My cousin was here and we had a blast!!

Hmm God speed some inspiration!!!!!! I need some motivation and inspiration!!! I hope to come up with some substance for the paper. I've got the framework. I just need the drive… at the moment… hmmm too comfortable for my own goodddd…. Ok I promise .. next week… I ll get it done!!! If not I wont be expecting any gifts from Santa this year!! Tsk :(

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
