I'm back...no escaping this time!

Well year one is done, bar viva for upgrade report! I have had two breakdowns, been in hospital for 12 days, and got some results! How has everyone else's first year been!?

wow

Hopefully you have got all the dramatic events of a PhD over in one year!

I would say first 9 months of PhD pretty much sucked but now things are on the up experiment wise. Just need to work on my supervisor relationship, my uni actually runs a course on "managing your supervisor" seems I'm not the only one with a problem in that area...

We have one on getting the most out of supervision...so I think lots of places realise that it can be an issue. All ok now, just ploding on in the lab and trying to burn myself with HF!

hello welcome back

sorry you've had a horrible time, but big hug and hopefully things are going to be a lot better for you from now on.

Thanks Pea

I am getting help, and have my upgrade meeting on Fri. Results so far are interesting, and have an idea where I am going...so thats something!

Passed my upgrade, no academic reason why not! I just had to narrow down my aim, and think more about my research questions.
