Done! Good luck with it further.

I'm starting my PhD in October 2011 at the University of Southampton and will be self-funded. The idea of going to spend 3-4 years studying without a guaranteed income is a very scary feeling but it all depends on what you want from it and how passionate you're about doing a PhD. For me, it has been a lifelong ambition and a challenge I dream to overcome. So I'm prepared to risk it all for living my dream.
