On the bright side, you're still alive.

If I was immobile for 3 months, I'd go to www.goodreads.com and start ticking off all my 'to-read' books! (up)

Eska that was helpful ;-)

I based my cover letter off a sample provided by Fred Winston in the Harvard Bulletin (1998). Should be able to find it on google, although its biology-based.

Blogging your thesis is something johnhawks.net advocates -- he's a cool paleosomethingorotherologist.

Quote From ginga:

What on Earth is a '5-figure education'?


Undergraduate education cost around 15k, phd scholarship around 60k = £75,000. Same probably applies for many others here. The point being that a 2-figure sum spent on alcohol can easily obscure the 5-figures spent on education.

@EmmaB : don't worry about cleverclogs. They display a fast-shifting alteration in their posts on here, from very helpful/friendly to spiteful/hurtful or sometimes just a bit uncomfortable for the poster they are responding too. The first is visible on many threads where they gave good advice on a number of things, and the last on ones like these.

I'm a he, sweetheart. My posts are just honest (up)

Woopsy. A girl in our department ended up in an ambulance after a department Christmas party.

Personally I don't drink, that way my ability to reason stays intact and everybody can see my 5-figure education. :p Why would anyone invest tens of thousands of pounds in an education, then spend a few pounds on flushing it away at a social event?
