Yeah, all the best.

No need to be depressed. You seem to be highly successful - imagine how many people received rejections from OXBRIDGE (including me but for BSc), so be happy - the future is yours

List of the day:

1. Baile Latino: Lambada (est. 1989)
2. Bellini: Samba de Jainero (1997)
3. The Offspring: The Kid's aren't alright
4. Aventura: Hermanita
5. Nonpoint: In the Air Tonight (Miami Vice Soundtrack)
6. The Cure: A Forest (to make me depressed)
7. Warren G & Nate Dogg: Regulate
8. Chris Rea: On the Beach (to dream of holiday)
9. 2Pac: Hit Em Up (whilst thinking of academia)

It's 15:20, I got up at 8am, had breakfast, decided to start working on PhD, instead surfed online, had lunch at 12, decided that I can't work and took a nap, decided that I would start working at 1pm, instead wasted more time, then decided that I need to go to the supermarket, instead wasted more time, decided that I will start working at 3pm, but I didn't. NOW Iwasted the entire day, have no food and did not even enjoy doing nothing.

I think I'm going crazy

not sure who to vote. Although I'm not allowed to vote. I read the auto-biography of Bill Clinton and found it very impressive ('My life').

BTW: is it true that Gordon Brown received a PhD when he was 21?

so what are you trying to tell us?

If somebody is studying for a PhD at OXBRIDGE we could expect him to be able to seek advice himself and not to go on an Internet forum for serious advice. We are not mocking him, in fact he is mocking himself through ridiculous statements. Calm down.

Thanks, I'm honoured.

Nevertheless I'm working hard to become the most unpopular user in this forum so please no further awards..

Just relax, finish your PhD at OXBRIDGE, then take a year off and a holiday in Spain or whereever and soon you will realise that life is not just publications, impact factor and RAE. Maybe you will even find a girl and have sex and then you will see that life has a lot more to offer.

Jradetzky, how old are you? The reason I'm asking is you remind me a little bit of myself when I was 10 years old (without offence). I was in primary school and fell in love with this girl. Obviously I did not know anything about sex and had never kissed a girl before, still it broke my heart when she did not want to be my "girlfriend". In class I wrote her a letter and told her to tick the box if she wants to be my girlfriend or not or maybe. She ticked "no". It took me 3 years to recover from this.

In case you are 30 years old, maybe you are just too young to know what you want in life. Maybe you are too young to plan your entire life and make irreversible decisions concerning sex life and so on.

To quote someone more intelligent than Aldous Huxley:

"You only live once"

Yeah, have fun over there.

In the meantime my last words are: sex is more fun

I got a distinction for my MSc and I worked very hard (mostly at night-got into the vicious cycle of going to university for taught modules in the morning, going home, sleeping till 5pm, then working till 3 or 4am and all over again. Although it helped me getting a distinction it also resulted in depressions, overweight and so on.

However, after that, I've embarked on doctoral study and I have to say that I found it way more difficult than my entire MSc.

So I think it's not possible to compare the two or to say that people with distinction in their MSc will find a PhD very easy.

so what? You said Online Degree so it doesn't really matter does it..

BTW: what did you think of Belford (apart from being in the USA), Hitman?

So are you also saying everybody at OXBRIDGE is homophobic?

And by the way: what's your obsession with Oxbridge all about. Two of the best universities in the world, yes. But not holy temples of wisdom or knowledge about life, the world and the universe.

I'm speechless

The forum's just gone mad..
