PhD student, Coventry Uni: On-screen Reception of Minor Characters in Greek Drama, and yes that does make me a proper Classicist (opinions my own).
Not sure if it’s an age thing, but my goodness I get so sleepy reading now. Trying to read for PhD and I can’t keep my eyes open! Incredibly annoying. Anyone got any top tips for staying awake and engaged 🙈

Does anyone have a magic way of fitting everything into their lives? Asking for a friend!

Unexpectedly lost a writing day today. I can definitely feel that I’m right back in it, because I am a bit sad.
Do get to play with the 15 month old I stead though, and she’s the best.

Knowing that your University is about to mess up your supervision but having to wait until their “consultation” period is over before they can actually tell you for sure that they are messing up your supervision, is not fun times! How am I supposed to focus with that going on?!

Back to late-night writing, while the littles sleep!
It’s good to be back.

Broke the page on newest part of the thesis! A small accomplishment, but an accomplishment nonetheless.

Dearest past Georgina - simply writing the word ‘conclusion’ at the end of a chapter is not helpful! Today, past Georgina, we are not friends!

Apparently this PhD reading day is also powered by an hour nap. Oops!

It is my first official day back to PhD-ing! Where do I start?! I think I’ve forgotten how to do it, haha

Realisation that I am re-enrolling and therefore have to get this PhD done! Two baby breaks is enough I think.
I mean no idea what I’ll actually do post-PhD, clearly nothing academic (there are no jobs) but I would love to put my skills to use if I can.

Has anyone ever had a prolonged break for their research/ writing? I had hoped keep my head in the thesis a bit more than I have, but unforeseen family matters (illnesses, hospital stays, etc) have meant that I really haven’t touched it for along time. Any advice on returning to it?

My eldest baby has only 2.5 days left of primary school. Tonight we went to her Year 6 performance; she was magnificent ❤️

Is the place to find all the books still completely gone? Is there anywhere else we can use?

Currently waiting out half an hour to eat my wrap because I also took silly “empty stomach” antibiotics. At least they will make me better and make it so that when I do eat it won’t feel like someone is slicing at my tonsils with a very tiny, but very real, sword.
