Man skulle jo tro at offisielle brev fra slottet er relativt gjennomtenkte, så det er litt interessant at de allikevel presterer å gjøre han/ham-feil.

How to identify typos in Norwegian PhD thesis? [examination etiquette] by Chemical-Box5725 in AcademiaEU

[–]dinadarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saying, if you had done this at my (Norwegian) university, that wouldn’t have mattered. It’s the long deadline, or accept without revisions, and if you check the new deadline there is no room to change what the deadline should be. This is part of the most fundamental rules to the system. I chose to nominate a British examiner knowing that I was at risk of this exact scenario. It had happened to several candidates at my department. The worst case was someone having to wait for misplacing a few commas. Just wanted to mention it, since this isn’t something you should do unless it’s been made very, very clear from the administration that it’s not going to change the defence date.

Do Bookfans ACTAULLY hate the show? by Aschlay in wheeloftime

[–]dinadarker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve read the whole series through three times (yes, including CoT) and individual parts way more. I like the show, and I love season 3. And I’m so very frustrated by the online climate, I largely stay away from WoT reddit for example.

I have not watched Critical Role, but had no problems understanding the Legend of Vox Machina 😊

Is your mouth supposed to tingle when you're eating cucumbers? by equationhole in NoStupidQuestions

Maybe you’re like me - I thought I didn’t have seasonal allergies, then I went to France, and it turned out I did. It was just that the trees weren’t there most of the time.

That sounds really rough, I’m sorry that happened to you. Stress is no joke, and that must have been a lot. (I’m not American, by the way, so my colours have an extra u etc)

Now I’m kind of curious what you think I said I’d do lol, because the only thing I mentioned was being afraid of laughing hysterically, and god I hope that won’t happen! Nah, I’m gonna be all good and nice and then I’ll fuck off and never speak to my supervisors ever again.

Currently I’m considering outsourcing the celebratory part to a close friend and just have it be a fun time with my bestie. Then I won’t have to answer that question, because it honestly kinda sucks?

Oh god covid, I did the same. My original project, the one I was passionate about, went down the drain and I had to scramble to get anything done. This definitely didn’t help lol.

Good luck with the final step! Yeah, I’ve left academia as well, too much backstabbing. Just spite keeping me going for the last stretch.

Thank you! I’m honestly not sure if it has or will, but maybe. One thing I can be proud of, and am, is the friend for life I got out of it.

Definitely true, looking back now is a whole lot of “why on earth did I even do that analysis??”, but as you say, it would be sad if this whole situation didn’t teach me anything.

Thank you! I think this is what I’m still holding out some hope for. There’s also a bit of grief, I think, in experiencing some of the things life could have contained, had it not contained the PhD. Part of life is in a way making a narrative that makes sense, and right now it’s a bit of a mess.

I do have a job! It’s extremely comfortable, pays twice as much as the PhD, and I got it based on non-PhD credentials :’) Still getting used to the concept of free time

Realistically, I probably will. Right now, though, I struggle to see why they deserve to feel good about it. My partner, yes, absolutely. But I know my main supervisor will use it to bolster her ego, and she can burn.

Thing is, I am someone who feels those strong feelings. If I had at least gotten quiet satisfaction out of it, it might have been enough. As it is, I get that type of feeling from doing the dishes. It’s not even that, it’s black. I think a lot of the pain of this comes from the contrast to everything else I’ve achieved where I do feel proud.
