one month into a PhD

I haven't started mine yet, but to avoid spending 3 years getting mixed messages from 2 different supervisors, you should formally arrange meetings with the 2 of them present. This avoids you playing piggy in the middle.

It is also perfectly normal to feel unsettled at first. It's arguably worse for PhD students because there is only you doing what you are doing. The best course of action - say "Yes" to everything as the credit card advert goes (e.g. a drink down the pub and so on). You'll settle in, fear not!

Have there been any serious questions today?

Before I leave London to start, I've been stocking up on cheap clothes (i think I'm past the designer labels, this year's style phase).

Dear DanB. Please remember to address me by my new title Professor Von Winkelhasselhoffen (Instantdegrees.com). I think you know the answer to your question already don't you? Where do you go to get any PhD you like, for a small fee?
