I always find it difficult to start a new stage of this thesis. I’ve transcribed all the interviews, printed them off, and now I have to analyse everything. Luckily it’s the weekend and I can take a break. The plan is to read the transcripts while I am in Germany next week (!!!!!) and when I get back I have to start writing the findings/discussion chapter. I am meeting my supervisor just after I get back and I hope she can give me a few suggestions how to start writing this chapter and organize my findings.

Once again, and for the last time, our scholarship didn’t arrive on time. Luckily we have each other, but it still puts people in awkward positions. I am not sure why it is so difficult to transfer the money every month. Oh well. Even that is coming to an end, this is the last scholarship payment we will receive. Then reality will hit us hard.
