Happy New Year to one and all.
It's been back to the grind for me and I have started to write up chapter one of my dissertation which encompasses the overview, what I'm setting out to achieve, the organisational context etc. As always, I find that writing these summaries helps me to focus on the aims of my dissertation.
I also started Ch 1 of the dissertation as the University still haven't made a decision as to whether my dissertation needs their ethics approval. Of course everything shuts down for Xmas within academia so no-one is about to make any decisions. Note to self and and anyone else interested; this will also happen again at Easter!
Today I am off to Stoke City v NUFC in the hope of a decent win for us. This of course is by no means guaranteed but we retain our blind faith, at least for the moment!

Happy New Year!
Glad to hear it's going well.
I've been having lots of mini problems with my dissertation; the main being that I am still not a registered University student for this year (I was originaly only enrolled for the Diploma). Nobody seems to be able to help.
NHS Ethics has been a pain - even though my supervisor tells me it went surprisingly well. They wanted a few changes, which I have responded to, so I'm just waiting to hear back from them.
I didn't even know University Ethics existed - more boxes just to be ticked?
Good luck with it all...

Hi James and felicitations for the season to you too!
Sorry to hear that you have had difficulty with the University administration process, that's so frustrating. Could it be one of those scenarios where you have to go down in person and sit there till it's sorted?
The NHS Ethics sounds promising. From the experience that my supervisor has had with them in the past, a few changes is a positive.
I'm finding that it's the time with the 'administrative' areas of my dissertation which is causing most frustration. Still there is light at the end of the tunnel, an update will follow!
Good luck anyway and keep in touch.
Ingrid
