So I met with my dissertation supervisor yesterday :).
It was good, we spoke about my idea (self harm in adolescent males) and she said she liked the idea of focusing on males but wasn't sure about adolescents as that's what the focus is always on. Which is a good point really! She then suggested to me about looking at self harm in middled aged men, especially in regards to treatment as she knows that they don't really get taken seriously and things, which is a genius idea! I am very much excited about it, it's amazing at how obvious it seems now, wish I had thought of it first! lol! So yeah, my job to do before we meet again in Feb is to look at the psychology behind self-harm etc. and just try and find a good starting point for the research proposal :D.
I am excited!

Success!
This will just be a quick update as there isn't much progress on the dissertation front.
Big news though! I GOT THE SUPERVISOR THAT I WANTED! :D. So as you can guess I am completely over the moon as it means I can do the research topics that I want! Only thing now is I have to decide between doing Self-Harm in adolescent males, and parent views on mental illness in children.
We have to book an appointment with our supervisors for next week, so I must make sure that I do that tomorrow! I'm feeling rather nervous, mostly because when it comes to the appointment I have no idea where I'm supposed to go, but also in case she thinks my ideas are silly. I'm sure it'll all be fine though!
Oh, and I know it's not dissertation related but I'm almost done with my Applied Experimental presentation. Just a few bits missing as I couldn't remember what needed to be in it as I was too ill to concentrate in the last seminar!
I think this is all for now and no doubt I shall be updating again next week after my meeting with my supervisor!
