Remembering I Kill Giants!

It may not appear obvious but there is something that you do that very few people know. It is something that you do in almost every single part of your life. It is something you do not always realize you do but is something that you do more often than you realize. You  What you do more than you ever realize is that you kill giants!

Conferencing

So the last month has been very hectic. There have been two big international colour conferences back to back in separate weeks. This was my first experience of such a busy conferencing schedule and was intense and very tiring.

The First 6 Months

So before I forget here is the overview of my first 6 or so months of my PhD. Since the beginning alot has happened.

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.
