I think everyone's getting a bit dstracted from the point that I sent the nice helpful post so nobody else should be in the running except for me

I should be so lucky...unfortunately Jojo has not replied to my kind post with the hidden agenda

Hehe, I'm just trying to be helpful...honest...

Hi Jojo,

People might be a bit embarrassed to ask you in front of everybody on the forum board, so could I suggest maybe creating an MSN Messenger account like some of us already have.

Hope that helps

OK, what I'm writing is presuming a transfer report = a 1st year report (transfer from MPhil to PhD etc)

I don't think it's unusual to still be hazy at this point; indeed my supervisor has said that most students don't really get a good idea of their PhD until after the transfer/1st year report. I guess that's why doing a 1st year report is a good idea, because it gets you to think about it in more detail.

I just got my 1st draft back and there were scribbles all over it, mostly to do with how I structured the report. So I'm struggling with that too

The impression I get is that this kind of post is quite a common concern; so do your best, stick with it, and let us know how you got on!

Hope that helps

Try to never forget what that feeling feels like!

404, you can have my sticker if you like

Um, OK obviously not. I shall stop sticking my tongue out then (especially because all the people in my office were looking at me funny)

You're just jealous because the Postgrad team said something nice about me and they didn't about you. Naah nah nah naah nah. (A smiley face with a sticking out tongue would be useful about now...)

Yay! Postgrad team, do I get a sticker? Or a smiley face rubber stamp?

Snap!

Have the ever thoughtful Postgrad team already beaten us to it? I have been on this page a few times before www.findaphd.com/students/life.asp

And I noticed this one too www.findaphd.com/links.asp (unless this page has been recently created in response to this post, because I don't remember seeing it before...)

The last one also has a form where you can suggest good websites

But hey, your missed call with the withheld number could have been a secret admirer or something...

Or the postgrad team phoning to tell you to do some work and stop posting all the time!

Yes, but it was only to tell me that he couldn't fix my aerial! So not a nice phone call after all...

Hey, the only phone call I got today was from the TV aerial man, and the only text was from my mobile phone company
