Hey Andy, I started in january and it hasn't made any difference. The only difference it could make is if you are doing any taught modules. And that I'll (hopefully) be handing in on new years eve...which I imagine will lead to a rather blurrier-than-usual new years day
Hi Lara,
Good to hear your update, sounds like you have got lots out of your system and maybe are starting again much more refreshed? Be careful working to 4am if it is exhausting you...that won't be productive for 3 months (such a Mum thing to say!). You need to get enough rest to support your positive outlook.
Sounds like you've made a really good start last night and today. That's brilliant!
Olivia, good point. I'm a big fan of sauvignon (sp?) blanc with food of an aquatic nature. Particularly of the New Zealand variety. Although I'm not fussy. I'll drink NZSB with anything!
Maybe it depends what you serve it with? I like wine, but I'm a bit of a novice. I'm trying to learn more, but have stopped buying it on account of financial limitations. This isn't helping the learning...
Maybe we need a wine/trout thread? I think there are some interesting experiments in this field...
Hi, I'm cakegirl, I'm female and love a bit of cake. I also quite like wine. Maybe I should change my username to winegirl? I'm doing my phd, hope to finish before I hit the next decade, because if it goes on after that I will have spent too many friday nights working... I'm about 2 years in.
Parts of my lifestyle improved on getting my phd, other parts are less improved.
I am single, and not sure if relationships and phds go well together... Although I think it's probably more about choosing the right person to relate with.
I like this forum for its anonymity, so that's all you get about me! It's good to meet you all.
I seem to remember seeing certificated for sale in Thailand (in fact certificates for anything...degrees...medicine etc) but, strangely, never saw a PhD thesis on sale!
I'm not keen to work for this though!
Incidentally...how did you find that website? What phrase were your googling?!!!
Hey Charlie,
Nope, you're not alone! PhD is so intense in so many ways and dealing with the emotional side of things is one of the many skills PhD students learn along their rollercoasters.
It's a bit scary how quickly emotions can change too, the ups and downs can both be very rapid and unexpected.
Deadlines are very good for bringing out our biggest fears and insecurities - stick with it, you're not alone and you'll get through it.
