Progress "bar" - Monday 29 of June

Watch out, the deadline is above us! =) Today at 23.59h it is time to deliver the report.

The ToDo list for today is:

1- Finish the Introduction
2- Write Abstract
3- Write Abstract in Portuguese
4- Write 2 pages abstract
5- Write 2 pages abstract in Portuguese
6- Add a few more pictures
7- Revise the report.

I think I will manage it.

I did not make this post in the morning so I have not registered my progress from yesterday. At this moment I have 76 pages written and total 97 pages of document. 33k words! =)

I'm really looking forward to have my life back tomorrow!

Progress "bar" - Sunday 28 of June

One day to go, no time for cheap talk, just time to work!!

Saturday: wrote 11 pages, stopped at page 64.

Progress "bar" - Saturday 27 of June

Two days to go! I am getting a bit nervous and am a bit afraid of the delivery date!! Nevertheless there is not enough time to freak out. I have to write as much as I can and as fast as I can. I think I'll manage to finish it properly, but I'm wish I would have more time to revise it. My goal today is to finish the chapters that I still haven't finished, which means one and a half chapter to do today.

Yesterday I wrote a few pages, but also wrote the Acknowledgements, did some introductions and summary of some chapters, things that I was saving for later but I decided to do when I was not being too productive in other chapters.

And I still only have one picture on the document, that will take some time also... need to rush!

Friday: Wrote 3 pages plus extras, stopped at 53 pages. Had 25k words! =)

Progress "bar" - Friday 26 of June

Here I am again. Time is running short and there are still some pages to write. Nevertheless I think I'll manage it, just not as relaxed as I would like.

Yesterday "the writings" were not bad, but I should be faster. Let's see how does it go today!


Thursday: 5 pages written. Stopped at 50.

Progress "bar" - Thursday 25 of June

Yesterday was a better day than before. After deleting the 5 paragraphs I wrote in the day before (they were not that good) I ended up writing nine pages. I never wrote so much in one day... but I must admit that I didn't exactly write those pages yesterday. I had written more than half of them during the semester, it was part of the project, but now it was time for them to be included. But I guess it counts anyway because I was the one that wrote them! They still need some fixes and tweaks but it was a good feeling to see the report growing like that. I wish it was always like that. Well it better be from now on! My objective is to finish the main part of writing before Saturday (yeah, I know that tomorrow is Friday already =P). This way I'll be able to spend the weekend revising, writing each paragraph's introduction and summary and tweak the report a little bit. I hope I can manage it. I still need to fix what I did yesterday and then two more chapters. But it's like they say "a chapter a day, keeps the failure away", or something like that.

Wish me luck!

On Wednesday 24 of June: 9 pages, stopped at page 45.
