Documentation of my PhD
This is my online documentation of my PhD at Newcastle University. I have called this adventures although "adventures" is perhaps more appropriate but adventures come in many shapes and forms.
Doing a PhD entails many aspects; academic, personal drive and social. I have seen many different PhD students at different stages and it has made me aware that there will be times where things go well but also times where things don't go so well. I hope that by making a blog/diary of the events as I go (albeit starting 6 months late) that I will be able to see the amount of work I do and use this to help me not get bogged down when things go bad.
Whilst this aim may give the aim of someone who is organized, I am far from that but you only do this once, and acknowledging problems/progess can make you see how far you come.
