Roasting marshmellows in phd hell. Good Shit on the Brian Lehrer Show. Leave a comment ». Hello earthlings. If you haven’t heard this discussion on the Brian Lehrer show, it’s pretty good. Nothing new if you’ve been living the dream yourself but a lot of the callers have interesting personal stories to share. Should I go to Grad School? I’m in a bit of a personal non drug induced haze these days but will be writing some new shit soon. May 13, 2014 at 16:17. Laquo; Incoherent viva ramblings.

Roasting marshmellows in phd hell. Leave a comment ». I’m trying to study for my viva, and by ‘try’, I mostly mean freak out and create post-apocalyptic scenarios that involve the examiners trying to eat my puny brains whilst my books gather a layer of dust not unlike that of Miss Havisham’s wedding cake. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this link, where a fellow blogger has written much more eloquently about this sadistic process:. Http:/ hatemyphd.blogspot.com/2014/01/viva-voce.html.

How I Feel After Submitting My PhD | universityoflies

Roasting marshmellows in phd hell. How I Feel After Submitting My PhD. I remember talking to a friend who had submitted hir phd a few months ahead of me and after all of the congratulations and buying of drinks, I asked how they felt. 8220;Eh, just the same as before,” my friend replied. 8221; I definitely did not say. “Don’t you feel relieved? 8220;Not really. The whole thing is kind of anticlimactic,” said my friend. Hopefully the examiners agree. It’s funny, because the disparity between the ...

September 27, 2014. Oftentimes these days, my 15-month-old falls asleep in the car on the way home. Lately I’ve taken to bringing my computer with me when I think she’ll do this, so I can type crooked-handedly on the keyboard, trying to answer an email, post to Facebook, or in one case, finish a cover letter. Don’t f...

Going, going, gone. | Chronicles of a Recovering Academic

Chronicles of a Recovering Academic. 8230; on being a sheep in wolf's clothing. Sort of. November 5, 2013. Going, going, gone. It was almost a year since I had first mentioned my qualms about academic life, so by now I just wanted to finish. I was tired of feeling guilty and angry and confused, of the awkwardness at the department, of being ignored by my professors. And so I tried to focus on submitting the dissertation and preparing the defense. What could I do? Say something during the defense? Profess...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: December 2013
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Monday, December 30, 2013. How do things look now? It's been a few months since the last update. The reason being, I didn't want to 'jinx' myself. It's not that I am superstitious, but I wanted to wait until things had cleared a bit. What is going on now? I ended up dropping in personally to the company I had been in contact with since January a couple of times, and landed an audition. Everything seemed to go well, but I was still a bit caut...

Monthly Archives: March 2012. March 30, 2012 · 2:44 pm. A History of Decision-Making. I didn’t mean to be neglectful of this blog when it’s so new, but I’m in the midst of grading season. Is there anything so depressing as grading undergraduate essays? My problem, too, is that no matter how hard I try, I always. And I quickly figured out that I could major in this, and then go to grad school, and then I’d be a professor when I could read stuff and critically analyze it ALL THE TIME! Is pretty much the be...

Chronicles of a Recovering Academic. 8230; on being a sheep in wolf's clothing. Sort of. November 19, 2012. Basically, the past month was a roller coaster for me. I was sucked into the academic job market, pulled myself out of it, and now I’m pretty much that dude from the Mad Men intro sequence. Leaving academia sucks. I’ll write more about that later, but meanwhile I think Mama Nervosa’s post. Gets to the center of it. Leaving academia sucks (yes, I wrote the same sentence twice). September 28, 2012.
