Thesis update: Slow progress

Yesterday I worked on a portion of my thesis where I'm writing a review for my intro. I wanted to finish reading all the reviews for a particular topic but missed it by 7 pages! Luckily I've been taking notes along the way so I won't have to re-read.

Today's goals include:
1. finishing that review
2. then read and take notes on recent papers that weren't covered by older review articles.
3. AND organize my notes into a working paragraph for the article
4. If I have time, I will pull papers on the last topic of my intro

I'm thinking that I want to add another section but I just may revise what I have to include all of the data. The type of review that I'm writing is a discussion of three different checkpoint adapter proteins. Since I've been reading so many reviews that have described each adaptor in detail I'm worried about out being redundant. So I think that I will make this review relevant by comparing and contrasting studies and addressing remaining questions for the field.

When I convert this review article into an intro thesis chapter, I'll have to add more paragraphs that will tie it into my other studies which means more writing for the intro! I need to go faster, time will just pass and if you aren't careful you'll be panicking like I am now!

Wish me luck

Hi Chi-Chi, I don't log-in much so I just wanted you know that I stopped by. :)

I have a few updates on my blog for June, and as soon as my {home} computer gets fixed, I hope to upload more pics.

Take Care~
