Eww, sales: but then you get your PhD in the sizes and colours nobody else wants...

Nobody wants last seasons PhD...

Oh, buy them as presents for your friends and family - I'm going to by my seventeen year old sister a PhD.

*tongue in cheek*

Belford, anyone?

Congratulations...have a celebratory mince pie!

Hmm...good luck guys...I'm still here - with my red bull- I'm adopting a less rigid tone in my draft literature review. It is the only way to say what I really want -I'm not writing an essay so don't see the need to adopt overtl formal language. Obviously, I'm not jabbering away in slang! lol

Good luck! I though that I had left the days of last minute work behind at MA....still it is very hard balancing work and study....nevermind...

Christmas soon...

Hmmm, I'm trying to finish my lit review by Wednesday...and I have five thousand words left...must stay awake and do it....

Aghhh!!! And once it has been done - I will have survived my first PhD term! Yay! Anyone else working up close to the wall?

Du pratar mycket bra Svenska - När börjar du?!

Tack så mycket, är du Svensk också?

Zingo...

Nej, jag kommer från England, men jag har varit Sverige förut!

Actually, a friend introduced my to Melodifestivalen, and I started getting into Schlager and then liked BWO and then decided to start learning Swedish. My vocab is currently at a few hundred words, and I hope one day to ...pratar Svensk flytande...

I was really impressed by the university of Stockholm and the museums in the city - I'm not suprised the PhD system is efficent too!

Yay! They've gone and I've finally finished my abstract for a conference - the most considered 200 words I've written for a long, long time!

Off to munch on departmental mince pies and mulled wine...

I know, I wouldn't mind -but they are sitting at blank screens reading The Metro!

Even with my headphones in, I can still hear them babbling away.

Even the evil eye isn't working!

Argh!!!

Scamp - before I started my PhD my parents took me to Egypt for two weeks (they got a cheap deal. Luxor was amazing, but I got sick from drinking mango juice from a market seller (to be fair-it was my fault drinking mango juice that had been warmed in the sun) - and couldn't leave the hotel room for a week. I lost about 6lb in weight that week from lack of food and water volume *ewwwww...*

But the Karnak temple complex at Luxor is amazing!

Have fun!

Zingo!!!! Oh my god - somebody else who had heard of BWO!!!

No, sadly BWO are too busy touring - I was so peeved to have missed them by two days at Skansen during the sommar. Sigh.

So are you a fan of melodifestivalen by any chance? Apparently Jimmy Janssen and Jessica Andersson are playing in the Göteborg heat.

BTW: The new video to BWO's Chariots of Fire has been released.
