Things you forget while doing your thesis

[Zen]

What were the basic things you forgot when you were doing your thesis? My list would include:
§ Time
§ Eat
§ Sleep
Anyone care to share their experiences while doing their theses? :)

[Ira]

You forgot social life, Zen. :D

I personally didn't have any problems with my thesis--my groupmates and I started on it early, and I was blessed with very industrious groupmates. :)

[VaMpeEh]

hahhaha Ira

neglected my telebabad habits...
neglected my chat habits...
neglected the gimmicks..

pero nakakakain naman ako... kakain ka lang naman sa harap ng comp eh... sus sanay na ako dyan.. hehe

Ira: lucky you. my groupmates were kinda... dependent...

and iba iba oras namin kasi iba iba priorities, yung iba may family na, yung isa naglayas, ang hirap hanapin during those days kasi kung san san siya nagsa-stay... eek buti na lang tapos na!

[Zen]

Sheesh, how could I forget that? :p

[StJames]

Shave, comb, brush my teeth, sleep, eat breakfast and even converse with my family...lahat yan hehehehe

[Zen]

Individual kse yung thesis namin eh. :(

VaMpeEh, ano ba yan. :mad:

StJames, ako rin pala nakakalimot mag-suklay.. LOL

[Meiji]

*When night ends and day/morning begins...
*How to walk and talk properly (due to lack of sleep), some classmates thought i was intoxicated and one even thought i was drunk (para akong lasing pag antok na antok na ako tapos di pa ako natutulog, one would really think that i'm either drunk or tipsy)
*How to sit up ... i was always slouching then
*How to stay awake in my classes

[Zen]

Mareng Meiji, mahirap palang di ka patulugin... ;)

[Meiji]

May advantage din yun, dalhin mo ako sa inuman ng ganun, ok na ako, no need to drink liquor ;)

my project wasn't exactly a thesis, it was a required senior research. My adviser didn't require a defense.

[Mister Dean]

Yeah, I forgot to sleep.

By the time the defense was over, I forgot how to switch back to normal mode, and I became a NERD FOREVER!

*slap slap*

Okay, I'm back now. Darn thesis...

[Entropy]

I was pulling another all-nighter in the chemistry lab and I forgot that I had a theo oral exam scheduled for early the next morning - ayun, nabara tuloy. I was lucky to get away with a C.

[goonie]

one word sums it up... AUTISTIC!!! i was living in my own little thesis-universe where the whole point of existence was to finish one damn section of the thesis for every month!!!

medyo may pagka-OC kami ng mga thesis mates ko, kaya kami nagka ganon. medyo horror story nga kasi na-defer kami isang beses dahil sa mga hindot na sources namin sa isang nakakabaliw na gov't agency. HAAAAAAY!!!

to add comedy to tragedy... our batch was the last to enter the thesis program of our department. the following batches entered the newly instituted practicum program... AAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!

well... deins naman kami nagsisisi kasi may natutunan kami. ewan ko lang dun sa mga nagpra-practicum sa mga gov't agency and offices ngayon....

[Zen]

Naks naman mareng Meiji ;)

Ganns, you don't look anything like a nerd. :p

Entropy, sheesh bute na lang pumasa ka!!!

goonie, tama ka jan! lol may sarili pa akong sleeping patterns, like.. I go to sleep when they start waking up hehehe

[goonie]

may na-develop nga akong habit dahil sa thesis... kapag pumapalpak yung kopyuter o nagkakamali ako, kinakausap ko yung monitor ng kompyuter :eek: :eek: :eek:!!! nakikiusap daw ba para deins na maulit :D!!!

[clone]

Couldn't eat...couldn't sleep...always preoccupied. :(

This is how I looked after it was all done.

But, hey, it was well worth it afterwards. :)

[Meiji]

Hay naku Zennie ganyan din ako noon. Matutulog na ako pag gising na ang mga tao.

My cousin used to sleep in our house in order to provide me company 'coz I have lived alone at some point in my life. My cousin's class begins at 6:45am, her school is near our house, i wake her at 6:00 and come 6:30am, it's time for me to sleep 'coz at 8:00am, i have to wake up since I have a class at 10:00am. Basta i tried to get the sleep i needed kahit sandali lang, parang every minute counts, every minute is significant. Grabeh! pamatay! Laseng-laseng talaga!

goonie: ang ginagawa ko palagi is i save from time to time. grabeh! baka maloka ka pag nag-hang ang computer mo tapos di ka pa nakakapag-save, tapos you have to start all over again. bad trip yon.

LOL @ goonie (ngayon tinatawanan ko yung PC :eek: LOL)

Mareng Meiji, I submitted my 1st draft last Monday. Direcho ako sa school after printing it.. natulog na lang ako pagkauwi ko (10am na ata yun, lol) at nagising after dusk. Then, natulog ako nung narinig kong nagigising na yung mga maids. Hay ang weird, kainis! LOL

LOL @ clone. I bet the people around you started thinking.. "Hey, who's this nut that looks like a raisin?" ;)

[clone]

Zen:

Raisin? What raisin? I tell you, after I got done, I was so plastado that nothing was raisin', not even my head. :D

[goonie]

naku ha... :D :D :D

[Assassin_Mage]

that thing about forgetting the time.. happened to me.. looked up from the computer once and looked at my watch.. watch said 1..
so I thought I would go for a walk and buy some ice cream.. except when I went out.. it was 1 in the morning.. :D

[Zen]

LOL clone, touchy touchy :p

[shark]

Hmmm.....
1. Eating of course...healthy meals that is....puro junk food na lang sa thesis room...
2. Your friends..
3. Your girlfriend(/s) hehehehe
4. You tend to forget the deadline....

[clone]

HAHAHAHA! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif Zen, careful where you "touchy-touchy"...I'm very ticklish. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif HAHAHAHA!

Hey, I really got your joke about the "raisin." I just wanted to return the humor. I truly enjoy interacting with someone I can laugh with. That's 1000 pogi points right there. :)

[goonie]

kahit hindi ako kasali sa usapan.... LOL!!! with matching HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D :D :D :D

[Zen]

shark: Yikes, pareho tayo. Imbes na pumayat dahil sa hinde makakain, tumaba pa yata ako dahil sa sobrang kain ng junk foods. Gusto ko kse may nginguya lagi eh.. :p And yes.. that darn deadline.. LOL

clone: Keep away from me then, I like tickling people. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/evil.gif 1000 pogi points eh? :p

LOL @ goonie http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[rors]

i really don't know... basta ang alam ko lang, parati mainit ulo ko dito sa bahay :)

[goonie]

tama ka dyan, rors

i remember one time when my mom got rly angry at me 'cause i blew my top off when she distrubed me when i was typing my head off in front of my computer for my thesis.

i felt rly bad then... :( :( :(

[clone]

Zen:

So, you like to tickle people, eh? Well, that makes two of us. Be forwarned that I tickle back...ten-fold pa. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif O ano? Game ka ba?

Just a word of caution: Sometimes a lot of very "interesting things" happen after a tickling session with me. Hmmm... :confused: :D http://www.pinoyexchange.com/yummy.gif

[goonie]

hey, princess zen...

hope ur thesis defense went well!!! good luck sa result!!! :D :D :D :D

[Zen]

clone: Are you challenging me??? :rolleyes: *goes into a tickling stance* http://www.pinoyexchange.com/evil.gif http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

goonie, thanks! :)

[clone]

Zen:

Challenge you? Yes, but not to a tickling war. I have something better in mind...

http://justsaywow.com/images/protest_lg_clr.gif

Do you agree that this way would be a lot better? http://www.pinoyexchange.com/yummy.gif


To get back on topic, I forget to finish my thesis when I talk to Zen. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif But that's OK...she's well worth it. :D

Another thing I forget when doing my thesis... consult my advisers. :(

[tina11]

naku, di namin nakakalimutan kumain. we worked on our thesis at my friend's house and her mom instructed the maid to bring us sandwiches, fruits, potato chips, pizza, or other snacks every hour on the hour. nung time na yun, i also became addicted to my vitamin pills - i used to take vitamins after every meal instead of once a day because someone told me vitamin B complex + iron will give you more energy when you're stressed (kaya nga yun ang laman ng stresstabs)... the funny thing is, with all the vitamins we popped and the junk food we ate, we still lost a lot of weight (8 pounds in my case!) dahil sa sobrang stress :lol:

[regptrp_md2b]

- sleep
- eat
- social life (that's including my relationship with my bf)
- family matters (i had no choice eh!)
- money
