Data data data

*SIGH*

Been lazy. And it makes me feel really bad. I haven't written or read anything since January. Part of it was due to something unexpected. But the rest is my fault. I don't want to do anything. I'm never motivated or excited enough to finish my PhD.

I must change this though, very soon. I decided, since I'm not in the mood to write or read anything now, I will start playing with my data. This weekend I'll work on sorting out my data and entering a sample to SPSS. I will meet a statistician this week and if he says I'm on the right track, I'm planning to computerize all my data very soon. I'll also ask for some advice regarding the data analysis procedure.

I sent an abstract to a conference some time ago and this week they let me know that my article is accepted as a poster presentation. The conference is in late August. So, my data analysis must be in good shape by that time. Actually before that because my 3rd progress report is due June! Remembering I haven't even added a word to my last report gives me the shivers. I'm hoping to be able to say at least a few words about my data analysis in my report.

To keep it short, I'm not good. Gah, all I want from life is to be finished with this shit.
