Prelim Exam Results

Adriana,

You failed all 3 subjects. I am sorry that you did not pass the WPE.

The faculty have allowed you a 3rd try in Nov.

My best wishes.
KP

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't try again. I suppose I can't possibly do any worse than this. At least last time I got two questions right. *sigh*

Today's song: Dosh: Number 41

I love Dosh. He has his own music, along with being Andrew Bird's drummer. This song is from his new album.

This song has Andrew Bird vocals.

The best study food found at Wally's

I go to Wally's often. I sometimes buy pop. I sometimes buy delicious puffcorn.

Today I bought these.



Now I know when I need something sweet, I will spend a whopping $4.69 on these bad boys. They're like shortbread cookies with coconut cream in the middle.

Mmm.

What was I supposed to be studying again? Cookies, right?

"How not to get a PhD"

Article Link

Action summary

Be aware of the seven ways of not getting a PhD:
· not wanting a PhD; · overestimating what is required; · underestimating what is required; · having a supervisor who does not know what is required; · losing contact with your supervisor; · not having a 'thesis' (i.e. position, argument) to maintain; · taking a new job before completing.

Work to understand the implications of these traps fully in your own situation and determine not to succumb to them.

Re-establish your determination regularly when blandishments to stray from your programme of work recur.
