I am happy today because my supervisor emailed me to say he is working on a funding proposal for me, in his name to give me the money to do my research. He is in the same field and is very excited about this. After a week of feeling a bit negative, I feel happy and wanted to share it, that's all...hence three posts by myself :)
that's great, pink. sounds like you're going to have a good relationship with your sup. sometimes i think it's the little moments like these that make doing a PhD worthwile.
Thanks, yes, I think I am very fortunate considering some of the supervisor stories I have read. This was a small thing but I was really getting cold feet and this made all the difference
I'm happy today because my monthly supervision went well and my sup's like the subject and material I have chosen for my first two chapters. I'm thrilled. The British library really came up trumps.
Plus I will be getting a couple of hundred words in space in a academic quarterly newsletter to harp on about my research to people in my field.
Oh well done chris I received my official offer letter today from the University, no conditions, straight into a 3 year PhD. So, I am happy again Now, it is more official, I feel more positive and focussed.
