I've never had any of these kinds of hings happen o me. But I have once thought the same though as someone else. I was in my room in my house on MSN.My boyf lived a few houses down and he was also online. Suddenly I though 'he plays for rugby' for no apparent reason-I was just doing my coursework and not thinking about rugby myself and I dont even like rugby. ut then I decided to ask david whether he was thinking 'he plays for rugby' and he was. He said he was looking at a rugby website and got all spooked thinking I was in the room lol.
Thank you. I feel that its difficult because I sometimes feel like I have to impress the academics here. I have three supervisors for my research project, and they're all medical grads from oxbridge. So all the neurologists here are really amazing, and I feel like I should be a mini-them to make a good impression, and also to make sure that I get along with them well to make sure I can get a good reference from them. There are people on my course who are qualified doctors, and they work really hard and I think here reputation is important. I don't want to be seen by the academics and lecturers as one of those who don't bother so much, appear stressed out etc.
But I suppose like you say, this outlook can also be counter productive. I can't get too caught up in social politics, because that will give me uneccessary stress!
Thanks guys.
I only wanted an idea of other peoples experiences. I'm not going to base my entire studying on other peoples methods. It is different for everyone I know. I am going to work my hardest, and try to balance applications, ther issues etc with the course. ut the course comes first.
Heya, I thought you would ask.. I thought it was ok at the time, but now being in UCL.....making a comparison is easy! I'm studying in the nations centre for neurology so the researchers here, and the doctors are top notch. And there is an amazing amount of help that is also somehow not spoonfed either, and there are loads of grad courses for developing skills.
Spose I'm still bitter about getting 2.1 in my proj lol! Hm.
Did you happen to watch 'the brain hospital' on BBC 1 a few weeks back? Thats where I study! Its famous!
Lol anyway. How is the lab work? Who are your supervisors?
These forums are so amazing everyone replies so damn fast.are your phds that boring? Lol just kidding.
I'm did BSc Neuroscience at Leeds, a really crap course with crap teaching and marking. Now I'm doing an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience at UCL Institute of Neurology. Will Cambridge be impressed by this? The MSc is competitive to get into, and the research group I'm working with for my project is exceptionall competitve too.
