Week in review: 1-7 February

With a public holiday and half day on Monday, this past week went by rather quickly.  I was able to submit my prints to the machine shop and sort out materials/follow questions.  The rest of my time was dedicated to analysing data, writing software for said analysis and placing the results in slides for a conference next week.

I was able to start a dedicated writing time and I followed through each morning.  It only took two days before my supervisor was apologising for interrupting me during this time.  My other hope this week was to review a paper a day in preparation of adding references to my thesis, however, I didn't follow through with this plan.

Even though I have a few jobs queued up in the lab, I spent most (all) of my time this week at the computer somewhere between a Python script, my thesis, a grant proposal and a slide presentation.  I would assume this will become more of the trend as I move full swing into my thesis preparation.  However, there still are experiments to run in the lab and I'll need to carefully plan my time and prioritise to make sure I am working on the most crucial job.
