Observations and musings on pursuing (and maybe one day finishing) a PhD while being a mom.
Me: Mommy is going to school to get her doctorate 3yo: Why? We already have a doctor *existential crisis, the 3rd for the week*
When someone has paper published you only see the final success. You don't see the earlier rejections, revisions & resubmits. You assume it was easy but it rarely is. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc @sylviaduckworth
I, for one, welcome the advent of #280characters. For too long, I have been neglected, omitted, and discarded. There will no longer be any reason, justification, or excuse for not using an Oxford comma. You can even put two spaces after the full stop (but that looks a bit silly).
Turns out the place the "had ready" was only available during session. I was expected to miss conference activity, learning, to pump. 2/2
Looking t/ old pics td. Came across this #placesIpumped...this was the conference option I had asked and been told a spot would be ready 1/2
Need a whole day to be able to write? How's that working for you? Try snack writing. Short blocks done regularly, no distractions. #AcWriMo
i'm going to make this my lock screen

Overheard at McD's near uni campus. Student A:"the lecture was on social justice" B "oh I'm glad I didn't miss anything important"

Super productive day. I could hear the kids giggling with their grandma in the other room though and was SO conflicted!
Heard back abt an article td. Had family plans, didn't allow myself to become distracted by the review, focussed on family #WorkLifeBalance
Revising ch 2 submit, Thomas plays in the background. I can feel the disappointment as I am not very useful grad student #impostersyndrome

I'll take "Things that happen when your babysitter bails for 1000"
To do: 1)Revise ch4 2)Send to supervisor 3)Outline ch5 Did: - made to do list - wallowed in existential crisis - bought my kid sweet shoes
It's 9pm and everyone is sleeping. Me: I should write or read or be otherwise productive. Also me: Ice-cream and Netflix for the win!
Who was I kidding?! I don't have time to tweet...I should be writing...
