Day Seven: Working environments

It didn't happen - the lab has still not been moved yet... so after a quick meeting with both of my supervisors it was back to the computer screen for me! (and another few days of waiting and writing blogs about writing!) 

I think my introduction is going pretty well. It has taken me a while to get settled on a structure I liked; taking all these disjointed facts and figures and finding the best story to string them all together with. Today I think I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far.

Today I was also thinking a little bit about what jobs and careers will suit me (either this is insightful and reflective or this is a sign of the writing craziness setting in...). Coming up to the end of this degree also marks my introduction into the real world. Unsupported by school and the family home or university and the student loan - out on my own, for real this time. So much of choosing a career is based around the kind of life you want to live and the environment you want to work in. This past week has definitely dragged a bit and I've found it hard to be motivated without the support of and discussions with my colleagues. But I do love the freedom and responsibility you have when you're working on your own project.
