I am currently trying to work on my dissertation. I promised myself that I would spend the Christmas Holiday solely working full time on this project. But some how that just hasn't happened, and to be honest its not entirely my own fault. However, the good news is I wrote over a 1000 words (8000 max words) today. I've now got to get on with the 'literature review' section. But as this project is novel, and I am still creating the program, it really could go either way, so I don't want to write too much and then realise I have to now take a totally different strategy, and all the write up and exhaustive referencing (and reading at least 20 journal articles) has gone to waste. So I need to be patient until my supervisor has decided which strategy to take, but patience doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary at the present. I want things done and just want to get on with it. But that is the problem with doing a joint project - in my experience sometimes it keeps one back, especially when the other person isn't as enthusiastic as you are. Have you had any experiences of joint academic projects, and how did they go?

Is this a PhD dissertation that you're working on?
No, I'm still at the undergraduate stage but it is a funded research project, so it is alot more complicated, on a more postgraduate level I would say :)
