I choked five minutes ago on a vitamin tablet and thought I'm going to die. Now I can breathe again but I am scared that the thing is still in the wrong place.

Just googled and read that it can be dangerous if the thing is still in it but you can breath.

I feel very weird as I am all alone here in my flat and I seriously thought that this is it now.

anybody any medical advice on what I should do?

especially as you said 'after years of trying'. You might never get the chance again

I'm not sure if you noticed but 99% of PhD student's don't have a life for the duration of the PhD. Although some may argue that you can have both-I doubt it. It's definitely not comparable to Master or UG studies.

If you want the PhD, then don't care about a remote location. Just go for it (IMO)..

Your biggest christmas gift was probably your successful viva..

Knowledge is power.

Just bought a 20-part encyclopedia with the entire world knowledge (not PhD related) for £400 two weeks ago. Maybe I'm crazy, too.

the process..

....sucks

In other words: the PGFT applies certain rules (e.g. ban of 'naughty' forum users) and ignores other rules.

Or maybe you just don't know them.

I quote from the official forum rules:

" Threads will be permanently deleted from the Removed Threads section after one month."

Not that it is of any interest at all, but that particular rule does not seem to be applied in reality, PGFT?

Hey Sara, how was your date?

off-topic: I'm really hungry. Anybody knows where I can get food at 3.41am?

Sylvester and Athina, don't worry, your love will grow slowly. You are definitely feeling attracted to each other (see the other love thread last night)

I just lost interest and walked away-biggest mistake ever. It's 4 years ago.

Athina and Sylveste are both in love (with each other).

I've been in love once.

Wow. Lucky UnderGrad.

PGFT: just said hello and told them to wake up
