I heard back feedback and my lack of honours in my first degree is proving to be the hindrance and my degree classification in my MSc is not high enough!
I feel stuck as my course was closed in the honours year. So what can I do? Academically I struggle a little bit with essays etc. Should I just give up? I have no honours so why bother even trying to get an internship?
*sigh* I REALLY want to cry now. Or can anyone else help
For the newer ones, how to survive your first conference or writing for a journal paper? Mind you if you are in a big research group - the gang of you would most probably go to the conference together. When I was at the conference in Edinburgh last year, I could see the groups all together and Bristol had the largest group. There wasn't a lot of mixing going on!
I would suggest if you can, to attend meetings and conferences to get an idea of what to expect. I went to the Scottish Neuroscience Meeting and a major conference. I am glad I went to the conference as an attendee, as I know what they like so it wouldn't be nerve wrecking attending the conference and speak to the people with the posters to get an idea of how it works that way.
Having been in a position not unlike that, I would say if you haven't had a holiday, take some time out and it would be worse with the antidepressants. I think the very reason you are crying lots is because you are utterly stressed and your body needs to get rid of it.
Take care and have time with your kitties.
