74 days 'til thesis is due. Sitting at 4242 words but I will lose some of those today. I'm concentrating on getting words written and on the page. Then I'll start connecting things. #psychhonours
Is anyone else submitting something for The Richell Prize this year? I’m stuck somewhere between quiet hope and full-blown imposter syndrome. Trying to talk myself into hitting send. Anyone else in the same boat? Hahaha
This week I’ll hit 70,000 words on my creative project. At least 15k to go before the first draft feels right. And yes, I’m still doing my PhD too. Apparently I need to do both creative and academic work at the same time to feel any kind of joy in life. :D
The book I’m writing is set, in part, in 1995. I just found my journals from that year and oh boy. The drama. The angst. The truly terrible poetry. But I was right about how I remembered a certain relationship. Some pain really does cut through time, doesn’t it?
I recently watched Dig! (I know, I’m 20 years late) and I can’t stop thinking about how perfect it is. The chaos, the ego, the delusion, the genius. I’ve watched so many music documentaries and this is by far the best, imo.
I’m nearly halfway through writing my novel and would love to find an online writers group. Ideally something supportive where I can share ideas and connect with others. If you’re part of one or have suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
Been working on my creative project this week and it’s been bliss. I really needed the break. Two months into the PhD and I was already feeling burnt out. If I’m going to make it through the long haul, I need to get better at resting too. #phdlife
My sleeping has been absolutely atrocious lately. I have had four sleepless nights in the last 3 weeks. Body is tired but the brain is wired. #phdlife
Working on my Skills and Knowledge audit for Milestone 1 of my PhD. Such a useful exercise. It's been a lot of work but really interesting planning out what I'm going to do develop over the next year.
Today is Day #1 of my PhD. I'm feeling a mixture of overwhelm, excitement, and pride. It's going to be an interesting four years!
We’re at the beginning of a week long heatwave and our aircon con has crapped itself. AWESOME.
Mum passed away 2.5 years ago, and it’s the little, unexpected things that make the loss feel fresh. My niece wants to crochet a blanket for her cousin—Mum would’ve taught her. I can’t help but think about all the wisdom we’ve lost.
Bought a new Mac Mini the other day to replace my dying iMac. Also got a 34" widescreen Acer monitor. Text is so blurry. Tried everything. If anyone has any suggestions, would love to hear them.
Didn't get the scholarship I was hoping for, so I’m on the hunt for work I can do alongside my PhD (and over the summer)! If anyone needs a Research Assistant, casual/sessional academic, or similar, please reach out. :)
Just received my conditional offer to begin my Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) next year. I am so excited!! Just need to send my transcript and it’s a done deal.
It's been 2.5 years since I lost my Mum and my sister-in-law Bec in the same week. Only now do I feel ready to go through the folders of photos I gathered for their funerals and wakes. Grief changes with time, but it never gets easier.
Still no word on PhD application. I am really not good with waiting. Completing another scholarship application today. Interesting experience!
