YEAH!!!! LETS ALL BE HIPPIES AND SPREAD THE LOVE!!!

they haven't made me feel bad, i'm just saying don't get ahead of yourself.

and besides, it isn't easy to get an offer, so don't be so arrogant

What are you DanB? a male or female? sometimes I wonder if you are a gay bloke, but now I really am confused!!

You got to get on one before you start talking about finishing it!

Mellory, whether you do a PhD, EngD, DPhil or whatever other doctorate, your title is still Dr, assuming you finish the damn thing

heres a little song from my violin Mia...

I agree, Mars would be a good holiday, I hear that in the summer its really busy over there. Best stick to the local park if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday

I am only in my first year, so cannot really look that far ahead, but this summer I am going to Santorini in Greece. After my PhD, i suppose I will want some really exciting holiday, perhaps somewhere like Hong Kong, New Zealand or Hawaii. But I would also like to travel across the USA, say drive from one side to the other, I think that would be a good experience.

Thanks, I thought this thread would brighten up the forum a bit, and take us away from the PhD-related stuff that can get rather stressing and boring after a while.

do not pin all your hopes on this one project, start looking for others and just be patient on this one. keep your options open, as if you didn't get this project (and i hope you do get it) you will be in a slight mess and will be right back at the beginning again, whereas other applications will give you back-ups if you don't get this one now.

I started off wanting this one project very much, but to keep options open i applied to many others as well. as a result i got invited to the universities and spoke in detail about the projects. then i didn't get the first project i wanted, but that didn't matter as when i went to see the supervisor, the project seemed poor at best to be honest, and i'm happy it has worked out the way it has. and as a result of me looking for back-ups i found this one project that seemed interesting, in a fairly new area and gives really good prospects afterwards.

so look for back-ups in the mean time, you never know what you will find

anyone remember 'land of the giants'? it used to be on channel four i think, and i think it was on sunday mornings. that was a cool programme

out of interest Hazel, where was it filmed? it was a cool programme, I liked it as a kid, but i don't reckon i would like it now. I still watch things like thundercats, that will never get boring

blue peter was boring. all they ever did was make stuff that was pointless, or do some stupid activity

Sure you weren't panthro?

when i was about 14, I liked Johnny Bravo. He ruled.
