to have a moan about my studies and invite you to moan and/or offer wise words?

[LRDtheFeministDragon]

It really is just a moan, nothing serious, but if anyone else is also in the mood for a moan and particularly about work/studies, do join in.

I am working (still) on my PhD and have had a plan to finish by the end of this academic year (September) which my teachers agreed would be doable. I've kept checking with them I'm on track and have been. Suddenly they're insisting I could take another year to finish but are being cagey when I try to work out why. I'm feeling really glum about it because an extra year will be expensive and, frankly, I feel like a failure for not getting done on time. My plan is just to get my head down, work hard, and prove I can do it, and I have done a load of work since I saw them so it is going ok. I just can't shake feeling down about it.

Also, it is bank holiday and raining! Grrr.

Over to you ... moan away.

You could be sarcastic laz, I wouldn't mind. But thanks. And good luck with the last two.

kiwi - oh, no! It's a bit mean, due on the weekend!

imno - write! Don't panic!

hermione - oh, I should try that - no internet. Not fancying the idea though ...

They said the same thing to me! Well no, actually they said, just get the flaming thing in. It'll get major corrections, but then you will at least have submitted within 4 years and you'll have another year to get it right. I rewrote the whole darned thing in a cave house in Spain in a week of all nighters, and got through with minor corrections (I had left out page 56). Keep on keeping on and prove them wrong. Good luck!

Will do!

Cave house in Spain - now that's a hardcore location to do your studies in!

I know ! I was quite PO'd given that its mothers day too.
I think theres some stupid regulation about amount of days allowed between assignment due dates from the university and having it in on Monday would be too late.
Hermione - ohh Macbeth ! love that play.
