I said 'Uni lecturer' (my defensive response these days). He said, 'Just get married and you'll be lecturing your husband for the rest of your life'. I could not even pretend to smile.Academic, Hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474557296107830403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178150141831482833.post-68250200771394972622008-08-25T02:38:00.000-07:002008-08-25T02:38:00.000-07:00I am struggling with performance and 'what next?' ...I am struggling with performance and 'what next?' anxieties too. And I am only just making my way from base camp!<BR/><BR/>One thing at a time, I guess. Wait til you've had some time to recuperate from thesis weight before you tackle the 'what next' question. My supervisor said that very few PhD students have a smooth transition to the next stage because it's not possible even practically to apply for things while in the write-up fog. <BR/><BR/>Plus, you need some time and space (and lowering of andrenalin levels) for the 'what next?' answers to come forward in a form that is honest and positive. You'll get there! <BR/><BR/>Thinking of you.<BR/><BR/>Please give a big congratulations and high five to The Pal. Fantastic!<BR/><BR/>Justine x x xAcademic, Hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474557296107830403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178150141831482833.post-16279730920767663792008-08-25T00:12:00.000-07:002008-08-25T00:12:00.000-07:00Thank you for such lovely comments.

It just means she likes you and wants you to ace it!
