And it's only my first week ! I feel like i've read a thousand textbooks but I've learned very little.

How shall I soothe my aching grey matter ?

By killing it with beer

I prefer a strong cider.

A long hot bath and a trashy novel (or is that just a girl thing?)

Sorry Ann, but yes I think it's a girl thing !

OK, how about four cans of extra strong lager, a takeaway pizza and an evening in watching the footie? Any better? ;o)

I don't like lager or football. Pizza sounds good though !

I agree, lager and football aren't great. Try the hot bath/book combo, you might like it!

I'm having coffee and mint green and black's. That'll do me nicely. Sat in my comfy new chair too !

mmmmmm...coffee and chocolate, you are right, that beats the book and bath everytime! Good luck with your PhD btw, it's a sensible idea to develop your ideal de-stressing method now before things really take off ;o)

Well I shall need some destressing tomorrow after I see my supervisors and realise I have nothing much to talk about... Well apart from the fact I've been out partying quite a bit this past week...

Yeh i had my first week...try going to the gym - that sorted me out 2day, it does help. Try to join some clubs and societies - but whatever u do - start at the beginning so they can become part of your routine.

dan ann dan ann dan ann dan ann!

Sue, I'm otherwise attached. But feel free to play cupid elsewhere :D

Me too, sorry Sue! :o)
