The End

Dear Friends and Lecturers;

This is the end, I will not be able to write properly on my blog, namely it may be the last entry until September. Today is early hours of Wednesday 2.30 am. I am doing some research about the website which my lecture and also supervisor Peter Vlachos recommended that it would be useful for my dissertation. The webpage was created for those who have been tracking interviews with well known and respectable business people.

Here is the website that you may be interested in;

Now it is the time to read at least 3 or 4 interviews from the webpage before sleeping. Tomorrow is going to be the same, namely I am occupied by the responsibility of my dissertation.

Have a good day

Sleepless Nights and Late Night Tales

Dear Friends and Lecturers;

Nowadays, I have not slept properly and stayed all night long to be able to comprehend the general lines of the articles which i have been reading. Frankly, after a while my eyes just stop to do their general duty and I decide to sleep in the morning either 4 or 5.

Meanwhile I have some resits to hand in before my departure to Istanbul, that is to say I shall be quick and efficient. My time grows by skim reading the academic articles and books related to my dissertation and correcting the mistakes which I have done in some previous assignments in the light of feedbacks. I hardly find spare time for myself, the only action that i have not missed in these weeks was going to gym regularly at least one hour and 4 days in a week

A healthy mind in a healthy body.

All the best

The Arrival of Summer and Researchs

Dear Friends and Lecturers;

I hardly believe, how fast the year passed by and now I found myself with in a room, full of academic article papers and books trying to take note from every single expression which I think they might be useful for my further research.

A lot of friends of mine have either gone to their countries or on holiday, to put it other words I have plently of time to study on my project before my departure to Istanbul. To be honest I should increase the tempo of my studying style as when I will be in Istanbul, there will be no time to work on my topic.

Lastly, I have done a good afford but still think that there will be more to do, read and write.

Have a good holiday wherever you are

Kind Regards

Orhan

Critical Hours

Dear Friends and Lecturers;

It has been a really hard day. I need to do a lot of research today about my dissertation, despite of the feeling of laziness and boredom, I am aware of writing my last assignment with the supportive documents, articles and books as soon as possible. Nowadays i have been busy with the last assignment as I said above. That is to say i had not enough time to do research for my dissertation. However if can manage to submit this last coursework on time, i will be concentrated on my next goal 'the dissertation'.

I do expect to take notes and do research on my subject of dissertation next week on these books;

Mills, D., Q., 2005, Principles of Management. 1^st ed. Waltham, MA: Mind Edge Press

Low, M., B., and MacMillan, I., C., 1988. Entrepreneurship: past research and further challenges, Journal Management, Vol: 14, No: 2, pp.139-161

We have survived the whole academic year by writing thousands of words and now this one is the last assignment that we need to survive before our dissertation.

I hope you all will manage to do your best and get the best results that you are expecting.

Kind Regards.
