GOGSoc Episode VI: The GoG, the Bad and the Ugly

moan away

You moan away if you need to hun, that's what we're here for! Sorry for my lame-ass replies - obviously having not started yet and not being in the midst of PhDness, there's only so much I can say But always happy to give squishy TLG hugs (which are the best type of hugs, FYI)

It's almost inevitable. There's a lot of good advice in the last couple of pages, so hang on in there. We always see the weaknesses in what we do, far more than the positives, so you are not the most objective judge of your own work.

Lots of hugs to Craggy and apotoftea. I'm sure you will both get through it and do great. The last few months are the toughest, from what I've heard (but also the ones when you think "there's no way I can stop now, not after these last few years"!).

Best of luck to both of you!

Also got some teaching to plan will make a nice change!

Teaching plan:

1) go to tutorial;
2) ask a couple of questions to test if they have done the reading;
3) tell them at university they are responsible for self-directed learning;
4) kick them out;
5) brew and a slice of cake.

There you go.

First meeting with supervisor went alright!

Well you're a graduate so if you're sufficiently grumpy, you're in

Oh how I wish it was that easy haha

really horrific weekend...

PRSOM!

Though, today I taught Northanger Abbey with about that much preparation after a really horrific weekend. Thankfully, I know it fairly well already and my students are fantastic this semester and really carried the class.

Glad it went well and

Thanks a lot guys.

I don't want to say too much here, but someone in my department died suddenly, a friend, and I'm sitting down here in the coffee shop because I'm feeling panicky about going upstairs to my department because it's going to be very weird and upsetting, and I don't particularly want to grieve openly with people cos it feels weird.

Thanks a lot guys.

Really, really sorry for your loss. If you need to talk or just vent feel free to PM.

So sorry

I lost a friend/colleague to illness last year and it still feels wrong... there's a big gap. Grieving with colleagues is really weird like you say, you're all trying to be brave because it's a professional work situation and yet nobody's doing any work anyway...

Thinking of you x

Really sorry to hear that.

Huge so sorry to hear that...

After discussion with my placement supervisor (not research) I can no longer bury my head in the sand of the task ahead of deciding on research and doing it in less than two years...

madamerle. Cake?

That's awful . Big hugs to you.
