Week 75: Report is done!

The fieldwork report was nearly done on Wednesday, and I spent Thursday reading through it again and making minor alterations.

I cannot say that I have any feeling of satisfaction with my work yet; not until I have heard from my supervisors about it.

In February, I created a report format and entered records into the document over the next three months, to be able to show all my activities to them. After returning to England, I began adding more precise information about the data and its context.

I now have a little time for relaxing at home, thoroughly cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, cooking meals, taking longer coffee breaks than usual and messaging friends.

Goals for week 76

  • make sure of my next steps
  • break any large tasks down into smaller and more manageable pieces
