Thanks guys, I know I will in due time. It's frustrating but I'm keeping the faith.. I'm working on hopefuly starting it in Sep/Oct. What2donext. Apparently you have been missing in action after completing ur PhD. Well hope all's well on ur end

yeah that sounds alil over the edge, but cut her some slack and get the hint that she might not want to as bad as u want her. I suspect she didn't want to give you any ideas so she gave you back her share( which still does not excuse her bad manners). I'll defend her issue with age. I have a prob going out with anyone younger than me. My friends think that's a whole load of bull but I make no apologies for it. I have a younger brother ( 4 years younger) and I've watched him grow. So going out with any one younger for me feels like I'd be relating with my brother. it's sounds stupid but that's the way it is.

ahh well good luck roopa. Start early I would say

I know I'm almost a year late but I must say that, all of you in here who took a piss at this dude's problem need to get a life! Just because you handled your PhD issue 'better than' he doesn't make his concern less trivial. When you are troubled, you don't care how many people in the world are dying of hunger or live in poverty - that is simply not your thorn in the flesh. Needless to say knowing that bigger problems exist in the world doesn't make your own disappear.

you doing a PhD roopa? In what?

I'm living thro' hell in my head. Just finished my masters and been trying to get a PhD. Thing is, funding is not even the prob for me. I can't seem to come up with a project ( how stupid is that). I'm so scared to jump into a project for the heck of it incase 18 months down the line I hate the topic and I can't do it. Maybe I'm regressing &-|
