    Default Please help motivate me

    Okay its 11:12 pm in Australia I am high on coffee and trying to pull an all nighter to get my masters thesis finished, it has to be submitted on Friday with a draft in tomorrow. I just don't have the motivation :help:

    I'm just physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted after a year of writing this damn thing :wallbash:

    Um how about "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." - Aristotle
    Plus you are SO close right now and if you keep going and hand it in I will send you a million pounds! (Well actually it would be a peice of paper with a smiley face on it and £1,000,000 written on it, but thats not quite as motivational is it? Um . . .)

    You can do it! :excited:

    Exhaustion is transient but letters after your names are forever

    You've made it this far Scarlett, giving up now would be like giving up when you're just 300 yards away from a marathon finishing line, you are NOT a quitter!!!

    It would be such a shame to give up two or three days before the end, go on you can do it!!!! :excited:

    Sending much love and positive super vibes to you in Oz :hug: :hug: :hug:

    Please just remind if I decide to do a Phd in the future how much I hated my Master!

    If it's any consolation I found my PhD actually less work than my MSc! You've got through this so you can get through anything :hug:

    I just found the workload less through the PhD and it was a little more focussed so I didn't have the 'cognitive lag' from changing between subjects. Plus I found the PhD a bit more interesting and stimulating as I was exploring on my own rather than book learning
