seeing that they are flatmates, i'd expect that they talk..... or am i wrong Morgan... they just don talk about it, but they talk anyway. just like me and my..

thanks Ann and Pea. I'm definitely gonna arrange a specific time to answer questions, then i can have time for my thesis... which had been pushed to christmas vac.

Pea - think we're both too scared of each other - enjoying the chase, not sure i have the nerves to do that.... not yet ..maybe in Feb.. valentines!! taking it slow.... at the mo, it would feel like kissin a close male friend..

hey.. tried the 8am to 10 am thing over the weekend, works wonders.

awww Morgan - all the best - yap, it hurts, particularly when the other person doesn have a clue. why don they get it!!

pea - last word was supposed to be 'worked' . excess typing syndrome.

anonGerman - read your poem on DanB. Must say you're very poetic - have you considered having a poem website?

DanB - seeing you're just getting back from the wilderness, i'd advice you have a recap of previous threads to get what the point is.

pea - yes i did. final touches on wednesday. thanks for your advise pea. was hard, but work.

hey guys,

this year am teaching this over-enthusiastic bunch who keep emailing me to ask questions about forthcoming seminars. that means that i have to spend more time looking at seminar work way before i need to and this i feel, is a waste of my time. love the teaching, hate the preparation. is anyone else going thro this?

love life - things are going superfine. i had a bday party, invited my crush, he send me this lovely card with lovely words in it.. went out to dinner yesterday with some friends.... couldn't help starring across the table now n then.. we weren't able to spend time together over the weekend - friends n all - he's coming over to see me sometime this week.. am very excited.

phd life - my sups decided that i change my topic to something they like - still getting my head round it.

i was just thinking about that yesterday. personally, i'll go into industry, work for two years, get no.1, work for another 2 get no. 2 and then i'll be back. the point is, it depends on how you view your job, is it a means to an end or an end in itself. for me, it's a means to an end - the end being a happy family. so am not gonna let some career stop me.

been doing that for the last six months. so sick of my phd. , i can't even talk about it anymo with getting really stressed.

my doc told me it can take a while -months / years sometimes-to conceive after the pill, not such a good idea if you're nearing menopause. for that reason, i'd try different types of Cs.

gee, this is the twenty first century Hangseng, Juno - do what you have to do gal!

wonder if am the only one who didn get vibes that Juno isn't proud of who she is. . stay beautiful Juno!

tips on time management, any inspirational quotes /poems you have about phd life? how do i switch from crush-mode to PhD-mode? tips on how think about my paper only.

Am i the only one waking up at 10am?
JoJo.

hmm.. thanks Hangseng - that's beyond me at the moment. don't like bright colors. Any other views...

thanks everyone.

late birthday kiss coastman. **
