We're still waiting for DJ Wickid's secret ingredient!!!

Of course not!!!!!! That honour is mine!!! ;)

Me too and not to mention all the lab work that awaits!! Glad to see you're back.

Food addiction is great! Where would we be without chocolate? ;)

Trying trying to finish off work that should have been earlier but this is won!! Have been trying honest!! ;)

You should be alright as you don't do much in your first two months! It's is your settling in period but it would probably be a good idea to ok it with your supervisor so he/she knows you're not skiving! Is it related to your project/field of study because if it is it'll improve your CV and if they are paying you that well you might as well take it! Good Luck!

I totally agree with everyone! I have actually given up explaining what I do to my family as they think I should just get married instead. One of them came up with the classic I thought people who did PhDs didn't have alot to do, they always look like they're not doing much - so I told her obviously they are skiving or not doing one! My friends are better but they know I'm mad!

Strangely enough my supervisor said the same thing about students repsonding by giving them the "talk" but I think that it's just because he's scared them to death! He was talking about undergrads!

That seems to be the way it's done in Social Sciences so it should be fine especially if it is original!

oh yeah that's what we're here for!

I'm an alien! Welcome to the forum and good luck with UCL! I hear it's a very large dept so I'm sure you'll be fine and meet lots of people!

I thought there would be more interaction as we are now in the zone - almost made it! We've shown we are committed or need to be in some cases!! We are almost staff but with the flexibility of the student life!

wow all your depts are organised. We just know we have one and that's it! Do the staff mix with the postgrads in your depts as they don't really seem in my dept?
