i dont know much about it.... its all assumptions - i wish her the best. Tbh - i just want to do my phd - and anything that will make my life easier until my nine month report is worthwhile. eSP as my homelife is driving me insane

i doubt she will fail for the following reasons:
*head of group is her hubby
*head of school is her buddy
*bcos shes been meaning to do her viva for so many years - shes made good friends with her internal and external

people say that the above people should be professional- but if they were then she would have been forced to give it up after 6 years.

awwwwwwww she aint that bad...she cant be run over as she owes me money....

my supervisor after 10 long years is finally having her viva on the 9th June. please pray/hope/chant that she gets thru it. i WILL go insane if she doesnt.....!!!!!!

yeh i am going to give her until my 9month report....
lets see what happens :s

she was nice cos she had to be. She is ademant that her way of working is correct. I dont know anymore. She said that she is trying to push me - but to be honest she is pushing me away. We have decided on having one formal meeting and one informal meeting. This formality is just driving me insane.

I dont know anymore - the thing is i just dont know what i want anymore

ok this isnt right for me

Lol - i have a meeting with her 2morrow .... since the dreaded e-mails... i now have to see her face to face. And i am very scared... so watch this space...weapons maybe used in self-defense.

i think i may have solved the problem

I dont know anymore... My first supervisor had a word with my second supervisor on friday and I dont know what happend. I have a research meeting with the supervisor i dont get on with on weds. I have to say that I am dreading it. It can be really isolating because sometimes when you try to describe how you are feeling to someone else they realyl dont see it as a big deal or why you feel the way you do. I guess its just got to that agrh point. I feel like giving in - doing what she says - get teh phd then go far away.

its all relative... its better if u go into industry - they may even be able to fund your phd if you establish a good raport with with them. Its all relative...

i am reading gossip mags... i know all about brad and angelina and chantell and preston. I wish i had to write my lit review on the lives of the rich and famous...

send a reply that is nice and formal..making sure that the email that u are replying to is at the bottom. CC it to your supervisor. The proff wont care - but it will give your supervisor the chance to have a quiet word with this power mad berk.

I dont know if this phd stuff is right for me. i love the research etc... i think i am good - i get invited to do talks, have publications but may be i just cant work in this controlled strucutre. I really feel like quiting. I have cried for 2 much over this. i DONT know how much more i can take.
