I'm living off overdraft till I get paid at the end of the month :(

I'm feeling a bit down too. Have a break stop thinking about it for a bit then try again.

Anyone else feeling down about their PhD at the moment? I'm trying to ligate my genes into cells and they are just not working. I've trouble shooted and still nothing, and now some of my colleagues are having a go as they say it should work. I KNOW THAT!!!

Shows how lazy the findaphd team is, they can't even be bothered to change the poll. I reckon the next poll should be 'how many hours do you work a week?'

I got mine too!!!

Hey what about dyslexic people? One of my best friends is dyslexic and his spelling is really bad but he is still really clever. Why is everyone on here so critical?

It sounds very complicated I would say no. Don't feel you have to just because he is your supervisor!

how about how often do we see our supervisor/s?

I checked my account balance last night and it has gone in! Yay!

Sell your soul to industry? Get over yourself, there's some great basic research done in a lot of companies. Don't be such a snob, and it's not like the salaries are astronomically better than post-doc's in academia..just a little, which is a good thing right?

Hello! I need you help and advice. I have a PhD place at the University of Cambridge but didn't get a scholarship. I am keen to star PhD as soon as possible, 2005-2006 academic year. Please give me a piece of advice where I can find the funding?
Thank you!!!

How's about 'How many hours do you work in a typical day / week?' or 'What time do you normally arrive in in the morning?'

Lol. Thanks guys. I shall probably have a word with the uni - as you say, I'll only end up paying it back in the long run.

Still, it was just nice to see my balance so healthy, albeit for a short while!
