Journal Number Three

I have recieved advice from several sources that it is a really good idea to journal while writing a thesis, and I will. But never being one to do things by halves, rather than stick to one, I am experimenting... with three. I have an academic journal, a personal journal, and now journal number three- this web journal.

A quick update

My apologies to anyone out there who actually reads this- I've obviously not been very good at keeping it up to date. So here's a quick update-
1. Tickets are booked and partially paid for thanks to the department graduate research fund and student loans. No thanks to study link who will cut my student allowance if I get my scholarship paid now, which means I have to wait until the end of the academic year (November) for that, meaning more loans and a growing overdraft.
2. The literature review is progressing... slowly. searching the internet for information about Honduras and what organisations are at work there is much more interesting than reading and making notes from dry academic articles about NGOs and development theory. Which brings me to...
3. Locating and contacting agencies. I've done some searching around and have drawn up a list of people and organisations to contact to set up fieldwork sites... many thanks to projecthonduras.com! Unfortunately the job of actually making contact has been put off yet again until my information sheet is approved and I've had a departmental ethics review meeting. So maybe next week?
4. Reading Reading Reading. Which is what I am going back to now...
