They'll kiss you soon Jojo.

After my supervision tmrw I am off to buy a pumpkin - I'm going to a fancy dress party with my date. I shall be going as a spooky scarecrow/pumpkin man wearing a real pumpkin head!

With everything going on....MUST concentrate on the supervision and my work!!!!

hmmm, you should be able to now:

if not i shall have to condense it down.

Well after spending 30 an hour at work writing a blog comment and then accidentally 'mashing' the keyboard and deleting it - I have finally written the full gossip.

www.myspace.com/christopherrolinski blog ' a little red door and a beercan of vodka'

For those of you aren't fans of myspace - we hooked up, I have his number, got a kiss or two and have a date!

Last night was fantastic! I'll be posting a blog message when at 'work' later today: I have a number and date.

Wow! That went amazingly well: I hope your friend isn't too peeved! But great news...go girl!

I am off to a free fringe concert tonight and I know my crush will be there....time to turn up my best moves.... *god help us all!* lol

Yay! I'm so pleased.

You must promise to tell us ALL!

Hmmmm....Orlando is nothing compared to Martin Rolinski

Look at the picture galleries. Not only is he beautiful but he speaks Swedish, Polish and English and is studying at the prestigious Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm (Royal College of Engineering)

Sigh....

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inspire me with your luck.....your bravery will inspire me to go forth into the romantic fray of life.

Good luck.

Do it now!! You can't have the rug pulled from under your feet.

Keep looking! (this is turning into the PhD Where's Wally?'. lol

Food: I dunno...you could cook Brownies (Nigella Lawson's recipe is fantastic!) or if he seems like the healthy sort...oatmeal cookies, flapjacks or bran muffins?

Nope - I don't work on any tuesday (Phd full day for me!) but if the guy who served you was wearing black framed glasses and was cute... that's the guy I like.

And ps- I'm sure I would have been able to find that book!

I think we should play a guessing game.....every time you go into Rylands have a peek and send me a post 'is that you chrisrolinski' ? with a brief description. lol
There's not that many male members of staff so it should only take a while...

Urm, I dunno. I'm trying to attract the attentions of a colleage at the mo'. I'm not sure what measure of success I am having, but he seems to talk to me, and laugh....so maybe I'm not going totally wrong.

Maybe a new lipstick?

Or food?

*crossed wires*

Urm...that's a kind offer but...I'm actually a guy. I am rather effete though in my writing style - tis' an easy mistake to make so no need to be embarrased. lol

*sobs piteously*

I wish I had a boyfriend to cope with my PhD blues!

Seriously though, anybody I was with would need to understand the demands of a PhD and be willing to put up with 'funny turns' every time a piece of work is due or a supervision is iminent!

Of course they also have to be funny, caring, smart and attractive.

Demanding, moi?

In my case I fully intended to study part-time: I pregistered part-time and paid fees. At the last minute, I was offered a fees only full time studentship. I had to take this opportunity. So now I have a lot on my plate- I have to work for all my living expenses. It is hard to balance full time study and a lot of hours, and I will probably struggle later on, but maybe by then I will have been succesful in an AHRC app. Until then, I can't see any other option: I wasn't going to turn down full time tuition fees paid for three years! That would have been madness!

I'm not sure what to advise- some people can take on more than others, but it is worth a try. Sometimes I'm not realistic but I seem to be getting the work done.

Kind of reminds me of when students come up to me in the library and ask me to help them find stuff. I mean, it is my job so I don't mind helping....like first years...but when you have to help third years use the library searches I want to scream: 'how did you get this far!?' :-S

Last week a student came up to me and asked 'Where is the piece of John?' After about thirty seconds later of incredulity I realised she was referring to the fragment of John's Gosepl in the University Special Collection...and directed her to it. But what a way for a degree student to phrase a question!!!!
