Ph.D. by the end of January. <br /><br />In the wait after my interview, I somehow managed to convince myself that I blagged the interview and that I wasn't right for the position anyway - mainly to ease the blow if I was unsuccessful. To my utter astonishment, I was offered the position almost a month later... Initially, I was completely thrilled. Now however, doubts are starting to eat away at me... "How long will it take for them to realise that I'm not a super-academic-wizard?" It's seriously reassuring to know that I'm not alone and that this torturous feeling is just part of the transition to Ph.D. life. I'm hoping I can shut my brain up over the next few weeks and try to muster some courage. <br /><br />Wish me luck!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708836975207690198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794759517912509312.post-19662453647631100162013-12-07T10:17:10.494+00:002013-12-07T10:17:10.494+00:00i have gone thru this once and really that was bad...i have gone thru this once and really that was bad experience as i observed people doing their work and i thought i would not be able to do anything...Lab environment was really different for me. that was for project .nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836507844069322036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794759517912509312.post-45234179339537676752013-12-07T10:13:29.646+00:002013-12-07T10:13:29.646+00:00me going to start my phd soon in january .....and ...me going to start my phd soon in january .....and really feeling like imposter syndrome is all over me ...:P<br />gd to see dat i m nt alone :Dnehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836507844069322036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794759517912509312.post-70656656193281429922013-12-02T10:06:13.965+00:002013-12-02T10:06:13.965+00:00Its very useful tips.Thanks for sharing..

I am already done with my studies three years ago and I’m still missing going to school and study. However, I’m being stopped by my work as I also need to fund my own daily needs.
