if you have time you can do what you described above to improve your language skills, funface. my time is spent reading, reading and reading only and of course writing. I agree with what Emmaki posted and as a full time research student, i am unable to find time to sleep. if anyone has great tips on improving language skills please share it with us.

Thanks a ton for taking your time and replying to my posts. The truth is, I have a few student job offers, however, I would rather work in academia, may be at the uni this is not possible at the moment. The problem is my time spent on reading and doing research. I have had financial support from my parents until today, now this support will fade out. My supervisor is demanding speedy progress. With my jobs, It is impossible. I feel I can finish the phd within 3 years but with some distractions (jobs) in the first year, at least. I was thinking about extra (uni or other) funding for my living. I have a family, my wife does not work as my daughter is only 8 months old.
I do not have problem with my cv, it is neat and out circulating almost everyday. The job offers are also from firms in the city but with "student" rates of pay. With these rates, I will have to work longer hours and end up researching less for my PhD. I would not mind working longer hours if the offer were from an academia or a research organisation as it is more relevant to what I am doing.
anyway, thank you very much to you all and good luck with your research!
