I don't like counting my chickens as I still have a good year left on my PhD but I find myself thinking about what will I do IF I pass.

It generally ranges from a big family meal to screaming from the top of a hill lol

Also looking forward to ever so slightly rubbing it into anyone who ever doubted me. I will reply back in 12 months (up)

I love this thread. I really like my PhD and when I motivate myself I think I can cope with the topic. Alot of people seem to be doing hardcore scientific research. Mines is a political topic so it means more writing than having to deal with graphs and experiments.

My problem is some of the side effects of doing a PhD it can be a bit lonely living 150miles from my University as I think I would have really enjoyed being in and around people like myself. I can't complain about my supervisor, department or subject at all. But reading this thread has made me feel better. I hope things work out well for you all.
