Looking for master in the united states
E

Ahmed your GPA is very low! I think you have to research on your own; check concerned websites and courses. There are some sort of special seats reserved in form of 'paid' format..if money is not an issue then go for them :)

Can I use first person in a paper abstract?
E

I think NO; not a good idea! You don't have to use First person format for making it user-friendly. I mean you can also bring ease in communication with third person writing format (after all this is prevalent).

Is re-examination of the thesis still a good option?
E

This is indeed sad! It seems they have some sort of personal grudge against you :/ But you don't have to worry (be kind and have patience). I personally think you should go for re-examination! It will certainly bring some amount of (major or minor) change :)

How much for proof reading?
E

See anything between 400-450 EUR is fair enough! But then as the quality in proof reading increases, rates are likely to get modified or alter. If you are asking for 500 EUR then the amount of professionalism in work has to be superior.

Thesis vs. depression
E

This is sad! My friend you are missing hope and this is not done :/ What is the point of crying? Is it going to complete your thesis? If it is a solution then even I am ready to cry with you but sorry to say..I know it won't help! I am sure there are enough solution. For that matter, you can even start from scratch but losing hope is just not accepted. Wish more hope and peace for you :)

Lots of changes after the first supervision meeting...
E

This is my story :( ....and I can very well relate with you! But I think this is also very common because I have never heard about a PhD case that went freely flowing. Welcome to the group of hardships and challenges :)

Why do you want to do PhD?
E

Most tricky questions have direct answers :) Say I want to do PhD because it is required for enhancing skills with detailed knowledge; the word 'specialization' is a close thought to me! And with specialization I am passionately seeking for wisdom.

P.S: (If you cannot convince them....confuse them :D )

Why do examiners call supervisors during viva?
E

In fact I don't think supervisor's even care :/ Your concern is heartfelt and most of the supervisors are too professional ( they are driven with logic and less emotions). So there is no point overrating this aspect..Take a chill pill :)

How does one talk about unemployment...
E

Sorry to hear about your current situation but you have to answer me something! Were you the happiest person in this world when you were employed? or Are you the saddest when things are not working out? I understand the fact that time is indeed BAD for you (which will eventually pass) but there is nothing to hide! You have to tell them that you are facing a trouble. I am sure home renovation can take a break but just don't create that sort of void in relationships. I hope you will understand :) Good luck!

PhD Students outside working hours. :-)

Haha... I second that! The conflict between dreams and reality is bitter than better. So I guess Its time to raise a glass full of wine :D
