yeah i def feel like i need to see them. I need some guidance on how to progress. I feel like I'm totally abandoned! One of my supervisors gives me the impression that they have no interest. :(

*hug*.

Have you tried sweedish glace vegan choc ice cream, that might help a little bit?

sorry I'm crap at giving advice.

thanks stu :)

Hi,

I need some advice. I have been doing my PhD for 6 months now and so far I haven't got very far. I am still not working in the lab full time. I am doing some lab work now but it only takes me a few hours a day. I haven't had a meeting with my supervisors for nearly 2 months. I keep emailing them but one of them never replies and the other just tells me the other one is off somewhere. I have reached the point where i just don't know what to do to fill my time. I don't see my supervisors on a daily basis as they work in a different place to me and there is no one in the lab who supervises me. I feel so lost and fed up. I don't know what to do and I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I really want to get on with my project but it seems like I'm the only one who is bothered about it.

Does anyone have any advice? as I am reaching the end of my tether!

So true one of my supervisors i think is suffereing from amnesia - he has forgotten he has a PhD student.

i wish my supervisor would do a bit of that

what is micro managing?

i agree weshould try and get on :)

I want to take two wks off in the summer

By easter i will have been here over six months and I have had 1 week 2 days off at xmas (thats all the holiday I have had). I spoken to others in my uni and some of them have had additional hols and a longer xmas hol. I don't wanna look like i'm taking advantage but I would really like to have a week off.

I did my degree. Then I took a year off and got a job. I was quite glad I did as I was ill for much of my year out.

Hi everyone,

How long are people taking off at easter? I was just getting the courage up to ask my supervisor for a week off and he told me about a meeting he wants me to go to in the week I would like to take off. I need a holiday :(, but i def want to go to the meeting. What does everyone think?

stu you are the one getting defensive. i have changed my mind I do dislike you that much.

yes i know its an opinion. If read what I said carefully you will see I said I THINK you talk rubbish hence indicating that this is my opinion.

tell them its classified information you can't possibly reveal
