Congrats! Well done for getting minor corrections! (up)

Kindle: holiday accessory or useful academic tool?
S

I have been using a Kindle for about 3 months by now. I think it's great to read pdfs on it. I don't even convert them to Kindle format, just drag and drop and then turn the Kindle by 90 degrees. It has saved me loads of money, as now I don't have to print stuff out to read, I find it impossible to read articles on the computer screen. Plus I don't have stacks of articles lying around either. When I read an article on it I take notes using a dictation software. I also travel quite a lot, so it makes my luggage a lot lighter as well. Hope this helps!

Help if possible :-)

I have emailed it to you. :-)

Not interested in topic of PhD
S

I have friends who are doing PhDs they are not interested in, but it came with funding and they couldn't refuse. They say they just treat it as a 9-5 job. They go to their office (or some of them work from home) start at 9, have an hour lunch break and leave at 5 and don;t think about it anymore for the rest of the day.

Paper help please
S

Sent. :-)

The One Goal Thread

Quote From pink_numbers:

trying to deal with a 'friend' that doesn't understand it's just not okay to be ringing someone trying to write up a thesis four, five times a day (how do you deal with that??)


Is s/he calling you on your mobile? If so, just don't pick up when their number comes up. If it's a landline it's bit more complicated. I have a 'friend' like that and I know that even if I say to her that I'm busy, she would just go on and on for about an hour. So now I just don't pick up when she calls, and then call her up in the evening saying that I was working and didn't see she called and try to hang up in 10mins.

Can anyone get this article please?
