turned the corner
i've been quite anxious and blah recently because i hadn't had the chance to catch up with my supervisor and i didn't think i was on the right track for my coding and analysis wasn't going anywhere. but finally after like 2.5 of not seeing her we managed to catch up yesterday and i left feeling ridiculously happy and smiling to myself the rest of the evening because of the support, encouragement and affirmation she gave me.
i've been really lucky with this supervisor because she's really experienced and while earlier i was worried that she isn't really in the "system" so to speak because she left the school for many years and isn't one of the lecturers well versed in the hons programme, it's proved to be a benefit. and she's really, really generous with her time to me. and unfailingly supportive. (was even inspired to jot a few lines for my acknowledgements!)
so all is good and spring has sprung officially on 1 sept and i'm feeling upbeat generally. i think i've over magnified the size of this task. it's really only 6 chapters and i've got drafts going on 3 of them. so it really isn't that bad!
still wondering what we ought to get as a pet. a cat would be easy and quite ideal, but the man is allergic (and me mildly). a dog is gonna take awhile more. a fish might be boring, a bird might be messy. chooks? bunnies?
gonna get out and sow some bok choi and choy sum seeds this weekend. i recently dug in our second load of bokashi and feeling pleased about that. already got my eye on where to dig in the next lot, which i predict is still some months away. but still, whee!
