Hellon everyone!
Sneaks, I can understand how you feel about your sup's messy handwriting....I get to feel like that with mine....:$ I even manage to change styles in a page.....I can imagine how difficult it would be for someone else to read my writing...........
I went to a very interesting talk yestarday evening.... It was about economic science and the damage economists have done to the world economy.... I always though that economics are connected to matehmatics, but the professor that was talking said that it depends on the "school"....
OK! Goals for today:
1) Check analysis of 15 more interviews
2) Check in for Friday's flight
3) Find passport
Hi from me!!
I just got back from "real" work...It was agood day, not at all busy. So, I am ready for PhD work!!!!
Goal 1: Go through 15 of my interveiws and doubble check the analysis (see if I have missed anything)
Goal 2: Buy ticket for Friday's journey to the airport (Have I told you? It's time to come to UK!!!! I'm flying on Friday!!!! I am excited (as always)!!)
Hi Florence....
I can completely sympathise with you... I'm in a similar (albeit different situation) with you...
I am in my 4th year of a PT PhD in UK. At the same time, I am working FT in the country of my origin. So, I am doing a PhD in English, while my native language is not English. My "real" job has nothing to do with my PhD and it needs a lot of research itself. So, I am doing two researches and I publish (or want to publish) on both areas.
Adding to all of these, although my university deadline is in 3 more years (7 total), as I am getting some financial support from my employer (a very small amount of money), I have a deadline from there in one year...So, I have to have my thesis ready in 5 years total, otherwise I will have to pay them back all the money that I got these years (and I don't have it).
Finally, I (an the rest of the people in my country) suffer from huge financial difficulties, meaning that I don't have the "luxury" to waste money on anything else than the absolutely necessary...It needs a lot of energy to decide what the absolutely necessary things are (after paying rent, loans and bills every month, I end up with 50 euros for everything else)....
I believe I can do it, because I am very subborn and because I want to do it!
I think that if you put your mind to it, then you can also do it! What if somen people finish before you do? At the end of the day, the result (pass) is what counts!!!!
I wish you all the best!
Hello everyone!
After 2 days strike and demontrartions (regarding the new austerity measures in Greece) that meant no work done (either "real" or PhD) I am here again....
So, my goal for today is to write another section of my 3rd analysis chapter!
Good luck to me and to everybody else!
Hang on Sneaks!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just come home from the coffee house....I managed to work there, so I might go again tomorrow..... I managed to write 3,5 pages! I prefer to write by hand on notebooks and then type each chapter......
Hi from me....
After a few days away from the forum, here I am again!!!!!!!
All these days I was working on the structure of my thrid analysis chapter (and trying to warm myself, as yesterday it was only 4 degrees in "sunny" Greece. Now it is a bit better, but still very cold).
I think I have managed to find a good structure (at least it seems good to me...) and today I will start writing....
Since I am really cold at my house (we don't have any oil for the central heating, because my landlord did not buy any, as he believed that we would have some "automn" time before winter......) I have decided that I will go in a coffee shop to study.... They have really good coffee there and they also give cheese pies with it!!!!!!!!!! (BUT I AM GOING THERE ONLY TO STUDY!!!!!!)
Good luck everybody!!!!!!
Does anybody have acces to this?
