Hello everyone. I want to welcome you to our new blog, dedicated to nursing us all through the final throws of our PhD lives.....
I hope that this blog will give inspiration and comfort to all involved, and will increase productivity and motivation, as we all reach the final stage of our long horrible PhD journey. While we may suffer bouts of unproductivity, motivational slumps, and yes, even gloom and depression, let us turn to this blog in our time of need, and find comfort in our fellow thesis sufferers.
In this way, we will ALL complete our theses by September (2008), and ALL graduate in December!
WE CAN DO IT GUYS!!!!!!
PS: This Blog is meant to be happy and motivational, but I cannot guarantee all posts will be uplifting... I can only promise that they will be real and that even in the difficult times, we will be able to find the will to keep going!
PSS: I think I may be the only one who can post here, and while I want this to be a democracy and for all to be included, it was my idea, so I get to write it, HA! Please send along any comments, stories, pictures or thoughts to me and I promise to include them... but... I guess I am the Blog President! Yippee!
(By now I have accepted and embraced I am the craziest one, so you can all keep your "crazy" comments to yourself).
*hugs to all, and happy working*

Hey Dr. Almost There.
I really like your blog and the uplifting effect it has on me. But at the same time I am being brought crashing down by the dark blackness of everything that is reflected and communicated to me by the background colour of your webpage.
I keep thinking of the Rolling Stones and their song 'Paint it Black' and I want to paint everything black. But, I have no paint and no means to buy some after my funding, the umbilical cord that supported my precarious existence, was traumatically wrenched from my soft and vulnerable belly.
Now I just close my eyes and imagine what it would be like to have enough paint to paint EVERYTHING black. Turns out this helps a lot and saves everyone else from seeing the darkness that I see.
I've also considered living in a cave. Have you any suggestions on how to immerse a tortured Phd soul in dark inky blackness?
Hearts,
Rob
(p.s. I've already considered a dark inky black pool)
Oh dear! See new post... HOLD ON Rob!
Soph :)
