However, i thought I would still cast mine. It is healthy to step away from the writing a little bit. I was in a similar predicament in April. I worked non-stop from January up to the end of March, and my brain just froze. I was missing spending time with the children (gone to the library before they wake up, come home after they were in bed). When I suggested to my supervisor that I would take a break, he told me: "This might be just what the doctor ordered." Anyway, the break has ended, and now I am more than even "hungry" to be done, and my brain is corperating too :-).<BR/>And again, if you do not take a break, we will not get to see you before we leave for Jamaica :-), see, I am biased too.Abson, Lara, Daniella & Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370269250806365623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-70601542179659545922008-06-12T02:13:00.001+01:002008-06-12T02:13:00.001+01:00Oh, and I'm the above anonymous person.Oh, and I'm the above anonymous person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-39276313932150937892008-06-12T02:13:00.000+01:002008-06-12T02:13:00.000+01:00I'm voting for going home.

I think sometimes when you live far away in a foreign country, and yes, Scotland is still foreign, you really forget all those things you missed. It will be like a breath of fresh air to see your family, friends and familiar people and places again. I think it would actually help improve your work. I say go for it, life is short, go see your nephews while they are still so little. Visit your family and let your mind rest so you can be rejuvenated!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-29891797396734302102008-06-09T17:51:00.000+01:002008-06-09T17:51:00.000+01:00I'm going to cast my vote and agree with most ever...I'm going to cast my vote and agree with most everyone else - you need a break, and what better to spend your money on than a trip home? Get refreshed, see your family (and hopefully some friends), and then get back to work and finish that thesis!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11980558273968265577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-31552345464918303652008-06-09T05:37:00.000+01:002008-06-09T05:37:00.000+01:00hmmm...i'm thinking you give yourself a bit of a b...hmmm...i'm thinking you give yourself a bit of a break, travel, see the fam, and then bite the bullet and be sure the beast is finished so that you have degree in hand by the fall of 2009. that way you can start to look for jobs this fall for the following school year. now that sounds kind of exciting-and i'm hoping to be in the same boat :)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216243806247067983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-57162808534106785312008-06-09T05:10:00.000+01:002008-06-09T05:10:00.000+01:00Well you know what I am going to say. :) Come ho...Well you know what I am going to say. :) Come home! :) But again i am biased and in no way helpful. <BR/><BR/>I can guarantee that "naptime" can give you about 1.5-3 hours of good study revision/working time. :)Jennie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857333948311181187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-70919240342967369352008-06-08T16:16:00.000+01:002008-06-08T16:16:00.000+01:00Just embrace whatever you decide, and you'll be fi...Just embrace whatever you decide, and you'll be fine. Thanks for the info on the song. I am so sensitive to mushy stuff; when 100 middle schoolers sing that song at the end of the year, it's like they are touching raw nerves. It's so beautiful. I think it's a song best sung by children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-84702359977162970072008-06-08T11:39:00.000+01:002008-06-08T11:39:00.000+01:00I guess that is basically what I'm saying.

It's just the money, really, that's my big issue... but I think that by having a 'guaranteed' job in the fall term, going home now makes the most sense. And I think, in a year, I would regret more not seeing my nephew and niece for so long, and missing having gotten to see them growing up when I had the chance. <BR/><BR/>Basically, I just want y'all to make sure there's no flaw in my argument, and that I'm not overlooking something big in my desire to get home to visit.... =DAmie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575635765018764228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570380629262255355.post-89020988298247397932008-06-08T00:56:00.000+01:002008-06-08T00:56:00.000+01:00So, are you saying your choices are to stay where ...So, are you saying your choices are to stay where you are and bust out a lot of work to maybe be finished on time for November OR go home for a while and take a break before going back to finish for July? You sound lonely. Your friends have all left, and now Brian (though maybe not a friend, is at least a familiar face?) Maybe it's time to go home for a bit? Step back and take a look at the big picture. Fast forward a year or so and look at it from that perspective; would you regret either decision?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
