In fairness he has got a lot on his plate. Picking which attractive female he is going to rifle next will no doubt occupy a lot of his time and effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endieinreekie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My essay has been rounded off at 3700 words. 17 texts in the bibliography, 20 footnotes and a shitload of Primary Source material: looking to get above 70 for it. Have an essay to start and complete on Darien and the Union for the end of the month, then a research proposal for the start of May. Workload is good. You okay for source material on Darien? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, what are you all doing PhD's in? I'm doing mine in speech processing, developing a multimodal, adaptive, context aware, intelligent speech enhancement framework for filtering speech using both audio and visual information in environments where conventional mono modal measures struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMikey Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm going to be doing a PhD in Streetwise Studies at the University of Life. Did you have to get a BA from The School of Hard Knocks first? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Now you mention it, its a pretty good summary of me as well. Within context, I am writing up- or trying to, the last few weeks I've got through diddly squat. This is becuase the end of march was the end of my PHd funding, so I spent the last two months searching for jobs, trying to get RA work and basically falling to pieces. I had three job interviews in the last two weeks, and expecting to hear back aobut two of them by the end of the week. I've also secured 6 months additional Uni funding and a further month's funding writing a technology road map for future chemical sensor designs. Thing is, there is one job, that if it were offered, and despite having to write up my PHd in my own time then, would be hard to turn down..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been doing stats work and teaching to keep the wolf from the door...but I've got a few months of write up to do. Haven't even contemplated the future, I just need to get this stuff out of the way! I'm also homeless in June, so got that to sort out. I did get a paper conditionally accepted for the big journal (IEEE Trans.), but so many corrections to do. Hate self. Hate PhD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
