Have you done them yet....?

(sprout)

I definitely DON'T miss PhD life..... I think thats mostly because not much has changed apart from I have money........

It's best to do them asap after the viva (and having been sent them), possibly the examiners discussions/comments will still be fresh in your mind.

I left mine for months and it caused a few problems with moving (country) for my current job.

You've basically passed, get the corrections out of the way and make it official with a piece of paper from your graduate office (or similar)....

Is this the admin for your department? I think they might not be the best place to get that letter, for example at my old uni I could contact student services or the graduate research office for something like that.

How about a mogwai.....just don't feed him after midnight.....

Go for it....there's never a perfect time to have a baby. Things always work out (from what I've seen) because you work hard to make sure they do.

Good luck!

Just ask someone who has worked with your supervisor for a long time what their favourite tipple is.

I got married in the summer during my second year, I think a year earlier would have been better but it wasn't that bad for me - apart from taking quite a lot of time off (my mum organised the whole thing).

Florence, I think there are more women in this position than you realise. Like someone said earlier, there is never the right time to have a baby, my best friend even advised me that having an "accident" might be better. The problem is, as educated women we spend quite a lot of time preparing our "nest". Yes three years feels like a lot of time but it will go quicker than you can ever imagine - think of it as nest building time - you want to bring your child up in the best way you can, right?

I've had lazier students than this.

I would say something along the lines of that researching and finding important references is part of the assignment and these are very useful skills to develop.

I had one guy who wanted me to do the assignment for him - I told on him and he got into trouble muhahahaha

Oh Lord. I wish I hadn't read that - it makes me realise nothing has changed.

I don't get to work until 10 (so I can sleep until 9 if I want - thats a lie in for me).

It's Friday afternoon, I'm working from home (I have that flexability) and I'm still in my PJs.

I can go to town if I want - but don't due to still being in PJs

I still post on PGF about rubbish.

ARGH

At least I get paid to do this! (Just want to add I don't work in academia).

Suck on a clove on the side of the mouth the pain is - if you have clove oil, directly add some to the tooth.

I'm shocked that you have to wait until Wednesday, is that normal for the NHS? I've only ever been a private patient (apart from pre-18) so no idea.

About three weeks I think - internal was on holiday and then back and very busy.

Drink more water and use waterproof mascara (after you have applied your eyeshadow).
