Chris - well, my friend doesn have a clue, it turned out that she was the one who was interested in hanging out - not him - it's amazing what 'friends' can do to their friends.

keeping my fingers crossed for you Chris! we'll be waiting for an update

MistaG - all down to your encouragement! thanks.

he gave me a bear hug when i was leaving..

J.

am gonna go to and see him tonight. he lives round the corner. or ask him round to mine for a meal...in the next thirty mins? what do you think guys?

true, i only have one shot at this. i have to get in there fast.

hi everyone, thanks for the flirting tips n all. guess what, the worst just happened. my crush asked my friend - if they could hang out over the weekend.. what should i do????????????

feel like my life is over.....

:-(.

what's the difference between a conference and a workshop?

am attending a workshop next month. would you agree to your paper being published in a book - one of the guys is offering to publish best papers in his book, or would you rather publish it in a journal.

your reasons?

currently having one rah.. guess that's why i was so embarassed. on the outside am miss calm, confident and in control whilst on the inside am like a lost duck with ruffled feathers.

well, sure after this paper is done and conference is over, it won't be so bad...

hmm chris, tempting me to go to the rylands now.. it's raining tho. maybe tomorrow. i will definitely look out for your crush.. and maybe you in the end..... could you be that quiet guy who sits at shortloans??? - again, he never found the book i wanted, so guess not.

hmm... guess i won't be suttle anymo then. been a while since i flirted with anyone. this PhD has made me such a nerd, i no longer have the motivation or the flirting skills i had back in the days . maybe it's time to jog my memory and see what i used to do.

awww, i was too full on. maybe not. .

food perhaps.... take it to his house or what?

lipstick.. i know, i know...next time i know am definitely seeing him, am gonna have a make over... and show him what he is missin..

chris - you might have served me at John Rylands on Tuesday... was that you? you couldn find the book i was asking for? couldn help thinking...hmm this could be chris.. where do you work chris?

Mel - am alright thanks. picked myself up. haven't done much tho tonight. planning to get down to work now.. made up with my boy. he said it was alright - my going on for 30 mins . trust me not to be doing that again in the near future...

hmm emz2u... i read somewhere that if you start your phd single, stay single. if you start married, stay married. emotional rollercoasters ain't gonna be good for your mental well-being during your phd.

not considering marriage til am done, personally.

verbal and suttle flirting tips only. don want to make it obvious that that's what am up to..

hmm.... wonder why they would ask....

same here Soda... also in my second year. hopefully this new supervisor will be more structured..
