Woe, or, usually I am not this unhappy.

Is there anyway to get the housemate to be quieter in the morning when they are getting ready for work? Perhaps just a little bit of act on their part can cut down the noise. White noise helps--no need for a fancy white noise machine, you could just run an electric fan, for instance, and this helps drown out the more annoying and distracting noises. I sympathise with you--I live in a noisy place with doors banging, drunks singing, alarms going off, sirens going, traffic...and it seems like one night I get no sleep, the next night I get caught up and sleep very soundly, the next night no sleep...its not a great cycle. And I am a pretty sound sleeper, at that.

PhD failure

Stories like this are very off-putting about the whole of the PhD process and the worth of the degree itself. If this is how people are treated and if the awarding of the degree is down to the idiosyncracy of the person who is the examiner, and nothing to do with the worth and integrity of the work produced, to me it makes the whole value of the degree sort of ...well..worthless, not too put to fine a point to it. When the process is allowed to be hijacked in this manner, it really undermines the whole of the institution of higher education and academia. I realize that nothing is perfect, and that bullies and under-miners lurk everywhere, but really, with degree awarding, there should be a nearly foolproof system of checks and balances that do not let this happen.
