Despair

I am currently stuck on my masters dissertation work with no leads whatsoever. I can't figure out what I will be doing next. My guide is on a holiday spree (which has lasted well over a month) and I am unable to contact him and ask about my next step. Though it is officially my semester break now but I have to get ahead. While most of my colleagues (classmates) have done in-silico work, they are on the verge of publishing papers. And here I am working on critical methods of analyzing data and running high end instruments not knowing what to do next. I read random papers each day and learn about new things which I can implement but for that I need to talk to my professor.
