When/if you ever get any free time, what are your real passions in life - something you can do to get away from the work for a bit, or that is very important to you?
I'll start with mine - Preston North End. Sadly, one of the main reasons why I want to stay up north for my PhD... What about everyone else?
Matthew, you must be happy about Cardiff City's dip in form then. I follow the bluebirds but dont watch them. I like playing golf to relax but it takes too long to complete a round (approx 4 hrs).
Good luck for season, I reckon its Preston and Cardiff for automatic promotion!!
photography! I recently bought a digital camera though I'm still not 100% persuaded it beats my ol ' good medium format one
I upload some stuff here http://forgetphotography.com/blog
Now if only I could convince the admissions tutors that photography *can* blend in with social sciences!
...and i'm a bit embarrassed to say i'm a leeds fan
lol gizmo
that won't be that hard now will it
This is a Phd forum, this is a phd forum, not a football one (slaps himself)
Hey Gizmo - I've lived in Sheffield for the past 4 years and have to say I'd go for the Owls every time. As for Leeds - after what they did to us in the play offs last season, it's hilarious what's happening now.
Oh, and as for this being a PhD forum - you can do a PhD in history and culture of football. How do you know that I'm not...
I also sing in a choir - today we have our Christmas concert!!!
But since my PhD is in music it's not much of a break for me, I sometimes find myself analysing (from an academic point of view) the songs we sing rather than just enjoy them!
Anyway, I like writing too (creative writing I mean, not academic writing) and of course reading (not papers but novels, poems, etc.).
