Doing a PhD

When you say it quickly it sounds like a dance, “Doing the PhD”, like the Locomotion by Kylie. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. Did I enjoy it? Well that depends. I can just see the sun coming up over the hill so am a little more relaxed about its inevitability but it wasn’t always that way. There have been times in the six years when I thought it will be amazing if I see this thing out. I still won’t be completely settled until I have that scroll in my hand, being congratulated by my supervisors.

Abstract

When you say it quickly it sounds like a dance, “Doing the PhD”, like the Locomotion by Kylie. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. Did I enjoy it? Well that depends. I can just see the sun coming up over the hill so am a little more relaxed about its inevitability but it wasn’t always that way. There have been times in the six years when I thought it will be amazing if I see this thing out. I still won’t be completely settled until I have that scroll in my hand, being congratulated by my supervisors.
