Thanks 404. I have two supervisors, but the split between them is 70-30, and the other one doesn't have much knowledge of my subject area unfortunately, but he's very helpful on proof reading. I'm going to try and have a chat with my primary supervisor tomorrow, little worried about how it will go!
Hi Guys, just an appeal for advice. Lately I've become anxious about how my relationship with my tutor has declined. When I first started here he seemed excited about my work, kept in regular contact and was full of advice an enthusiasm, he was pushing for me to suceeed. However after the first year of my PhD its changed, he no longer seems bothered. I sent him a structure for this chapter and its taken him two weks to get back to me!!! What makes it worse is that he's started to tutor another student, whose project is more in his area, and it seems like all his enthusiasm and interest is directed towards their work. I feel like I've been orphaned, I want to approach him about it but its not easy as I dont want to offend him... any ideas guys? Dx
Hey Chris...I'm in lovely damp Manchester to! Yeah my mum did something similar to me to...its even worse if hairdressers take the p$*s tho! Think I actually got my first white hair when I was 22! Did wonders for my ego when mum pointed it out in the centre of town then pulled it out! Know mine get worse when I get stressed, therefore my PhD must be financing several hair dye brands!
I'm in my second year and 26 ...tragically I feel that I peaked when I was eighteen! Am fighting every wrinkle, grey hair and toning things up as best as I can ... I'll go down fighting But in many ways feel more confident now than I did earlier on, just dont mention the bags under the eyes!
