Moving diary: House-moving stress

PhD Journey31st March 201927th November 2020

“House-moving stress” is going to last a while until we have finished assembling furniture and discarding unnecessary visible stuff (cardboard and items that don’t fit the new place). When I am stuck in my analysis, my data looks so mundane and seems insignificant, but I do need to assemble all of the examples into my […]

Week 117: A life-changing week

3rd year PhD Journey30th March 201927th November 2020

The title “A life-changing week” refers more to my current inner thoughts and feelings. Over the past few years, I have put off some things that I need to do, personal stuff not study-related.

Weeks 115 and 116: Hectic weeks with moving

3rd year PhD Journey22nd March 201927th November 2020

For the past two weeks, I have been fully occupied with moving and teaching! Moving is really stressful and time-consuming about many matters, but it’s been fantastic to see that the new apartment has been set up very nicely little by little. As for research, my progress was quite slow last week. I was completely […]
