9:45 am- last night I didn't work when I got home, did some cooking, and cleaning for Friday night guests, thinking about what to cook and I have to do shopping this afternoon and maybe some cooking! anyway I am going to read some papers maybe I find something to discuss with my prof, the meeting is at 1, but I rather to finish it soon and work on my chapters

1:20 pm- I cam from the meeting, the paper that I read was good for my work, really on-time, we discussed about it and that was fine, I also worked on chapters, adding some parts, creating some tables, I am going for lunch and continue after

11:50 pm- I was at school till around 5. prepared some table for the chapters, worked on subtitle, but then I had to leave, went for shopping, came home, did some cooking (khoresht gheyme+ desert+ preparation the inexpedience of salads which I will do the final part tomorrow), then I cleaned the fridge as something had leaked there and it was a mess, then I took a shower and it is now! no work since 5 :( I am going to school tomorrow, early hopefully and will come home soon around 3 maybe to get ready for the night, my aunt will stay at my place Saturday too, so I already missed 2 days, but I told myself that is ok, maybe I could finish it on Monday or Tuesday and as my prof has not yet read the previous one, it is not a big deal

9:50 am - new day! I didn't stay up last night :)

12:15 pm- going for lunch, I wasted around 45 min on the phone and in the net and worked the rest. I am a bit angry, it seems the guys in the office are making fun of us (me and the other Iranian guy) saying that we spend all the time in the office, that i come from morning to night and what are we doing and why are we so stressed about the exam and they have all passed their exams easily without working so hard and blah blah....

1:30 pm - back to work without motivation

4:30 pm- I am in a bad mood today, my mom called and we talked, then another friend from Iran and we talked, edited around 11 pages since this morning. maybe around 6 pages should be edited, I need to add some tables and notes. when this is finish I should re-read and edit them again, I want to cry, actually i did and couldn't concentrate. I will go home late, my aunt in coming to my place Friday night meaning I have 6 guests, and she sleeps over, I should send my chapters till Sunday night, I am getting crazy

5:30 pm- went for a coffee break, and now am back
8:45 pm- well I almost finished the written parts, only 2-3 small parts, maybe around 1-2 pages, but I still have to edit some parts, and I guess I need to rearrange some subtitles, and maybe gather some information in tables instead of writing them. it seems less but I am sure it take all of my time and I hope to finish it on time, tomorrow again I have a meeting and have nothing to talk about with him, I don't know why he doesn't let me write when I am supposed! I am going home as am hungry and there is nothing here to eat, but will work from home :(

12:30 pm - not a bad day since now, I start re-reading and editing what I wrote before, to see how much more is left. will go for lunch in few min.
1:15 pm - back to work
6:00 pm- well, something between yesterday and the day before yesterday. I went through the whole 2 chapters, the are some untouched parts, did all the figures and tables, edited the first 10 pages,. but still alot to do, 30 more pages to be edited, I think some parts should be eliminated and maybe 10-15 pages should be added. The deadline is the end of July, I have 2 more weeks and I think I can do it, the only problem is about other stuff, like finding the data for my simulation and do some works. hope I can manage them in 2 weeks, if I do so, that would be a big big relief. I am leaving now to see a friend, Mirzapeakovesky!, if I get home early I will work more.

11 am - I am starting very late today, I have been at school for two hours now~

1:00 pm - back from lunch

9:45 am - morning there :)

1:10 pm - back from lunch, the morning was not bad :)

5:00 pm - I worked while goodering and facebooking! till 3:45, then went to the office of a friend to surprise him for his BDay. am now back to work!

7:45 pm - I am going home, that was a normal day, working between 5-6 hours, but not enough :(

9:45 am- I worked for about 4-5 hours during week end. I have a lot to do, am going to start. I am sick, I got cold in this f$##%#% heat, I can not breath easily and it sucks.

1:30 pm - am back from lunch, starting again.

5:15 pm- I worked so-so, I am not satisfied, but that was not very bad. I feel tired abit, I need to rest to get free of this cold, may go home and work later today.

10:30 pm- well I came home, did some cooking, had a light dinner and felt sleep for about 2 hours! I went out for a walk to avoid more sleep (I hope it was due to pills!), I am still tired, I have runny nose and eyes and want to sleep now. I didn't work, I hate writing and studying at the same time, I am just writing now and time flies... how can I finish all these? I heard five more students were forced to drop the PhD cause they either didn't pass the exam or proposal defense. I am so nervous, it seems they were all Iranian.

4:30 pm- I came back to school yesterday. the trip to Toronto was fine, the wedding was good I just got tired, I was back Monday night, the weather is hot and I spent the whole afternoon till late night with a friend of fine who had come from Toronto yesterday, yesterday I just went through my stuff, my prof had sent me 6-10 papers and few CD of the past conferences, my next deadline is the end of July, 2 chapters, today I came late, I can say I did nothing (only one page from a paper was read), watched football and now want to go home to clean it after 2 weeks!Tomorrow I have a meeting and nothing to propose, I am back to my abnormal style again.

10:00 am- last night I worked for around an hour, the same today. now I am going to school to continue. what a good weather, good holiday and I should stay in my office who doesn't have a window!

12:45 pm- I got here around 11 am. I have finished almost half of it and I am a bit happy, though I have some references to add to Endnote. I am gonna take a break and continue, the only positive point is the second half has less correction.

4:30 pm - I finished the other half. now I have to go through references format and do some modifications. they are still some parts that I am not satisfied with and should change it abit. I know it will be back with lot of comments as it is my prof habit, but I want to do as best as I can. I will take a break.

9:30 pm - I am not done yet, though I finished the references and need to find 4-5 of them (original) or I should pull them out from my writings. I am going home to eat something and pack my baggage for tomorrow, take a shower and work on my proposal chapters. I am not sure if I can sleep tonight or not, I hope I can stay up, maybe first I finish this and then got for my baggage.
