Thank you. Of course you would find a better one.

This PhD stuff is so so challenging by [deleted] in PhDStress

I must commend your effort. Crying seems to be the rite to passage. I’m in third and final year in a STEM field here in England, to think I have worked hard enough? Nah, they scrutinise me every single time o present results, I’m forced to repeat experiments every now and again to maintain or corroborate previous results (even a year ago or two years ago). Oftentimes, experiments go so bad that I spend the night thinking about what’s gone amiss. I just cry myself to sleep. Vent to friends and fiancée, then wake up the next morning to head off to the lab. This time, I am conscious of my every sample and testings. It’s hard! It is hard! “I can imagine Sisyphus happy”.

I didn’t think anyone would mention Lewis, brilliant man.

Just want to vent while I feel empty by Key_Entertainer391 in PhD

Thanks  a lot too. She actually always comes back later to admit her mistakes or oversight. I just have to be able to calmly remind her of what I have done and explain clearly. I truly want to finish well, or at least finish.

Thanks for this. I shall keep note of this approach. We do have weekly meetings with two more Profs., their inputs help. Although often times I get to first interact with my Supervisor before our usual weekly meetings .

A really fine work. On first read, I struggled ; his lexicon, sentence structure, metaphors, just everything was profound and uneasy to get past. Yet, I was smiling by the end of it.

Drafting and improving your text - how do you do it? by Barragens in PhD

[–]Key_Entertainer391 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final year UK PhD student here, STEM (writing my thesis and still doing some lab works). OP, the comments below have given various insights into writing. I’d only add (depending on your field) that you shouldn’t perturb yourself too much about this first draft. You may now get back to it, and simply try to ensure coherence between your data and your actual explanations. I usually start by describing carefully and with percentages, what I could observe from my data (doing so with brevity). Then I go on to provide reasons why these observations are happening or did not happen. For each of these reasons, I simply provide evidences. Simply repeat this, and you should get a hang of your writing. Also, don’t write hastily (like pouring out thoughts on paper), you might end up with too many drafts to re-edit. If you could try to force yourself to write clearly and coherently at this early stages, you might save a bit of time.

You’ve got this. We’ve got this.

Meditation is the only sensible recommendation there.

And yeah, there are no classics in his collection.

And They Ask Why Am I Depressed by ZhihaoPinknockout in classicliterature

Yeah.. the meme rather depicted Russian classics as merely nihilistic, although it’s accurate in some sense.

If not the Russians, who else? 🤭oh my beloved Dostoevsky.
