YES YES YES YES

i got offered the phd today

I am so happy!

yes yes yes

ups and down

wow

day of ups and downs

you see the title of the email saying phd studentship and you think it is the one you have been waiting for telling you that yes you are going to start your phd in a couple of months.

but no ....it says one of the references hasnt got back and one is too short!!!! grrrrrrrr....now what.?!!?!?!?

a mad panic and a check on all the people that i made an impression on at uni to ask ..nay plead for a reference as soon as possible!!!

YES....two agree....one sends one through straight away.....

does asking fro references mean they are interested? or are they doing it for everyone?

no its becasue they want me and they need to go by the book!

positivity

you would be a perfect fit in here

you have all the qualities we are looking for

its an informal interview just to find out about you

such a positive vibe after talking to her at the end

Sunday

an angry day full of mini irritations building into one large anger monster

I know that i am impatient and waiting for the phd decision is getting to me. I had built it up to happen on friday and it didnt.........the negative thoughts really crept in and are hard to stop

welcome

hello

as ruth has always told me it is cathartic to write about yourself and he situations in which you find yourself. It is an outlet for all those stinky little thoughts that build up in your head an make things seem crappy.

I am going to try and use this space, not to show off how i am doing or build an audience of followers but to help me. I want to express myself, account for my thoughts and generally vent!

enjoy
