no i am not in london anymore. i was there for personal reasons. and i dont see why i need to explain myself in details why i was there or where i am at. jeffster: yes the illness has kept me away from school for nearly the whole year. i could not defer it because you re not allowed to do so here. also, i did nothing cos of that and cos i never heard back from them. never replied a phone call, an email, a question of mine. anyway, theres no point in continuing this discussion. thank you all for your wonderful replies, but i think the phd system in my country is way different to yours, so we can not really compare the situations.

I have always wanted to do a PhD. I got accepted into one last year, but it has not turned out to be the way i wanted it to. Among two unis which accepted me, i chose to go with the easiest one. -big mistake-. I have three supervisors. I only like one of them. My main supervisor never answers his phone or email. Last month he gave me a deadline. If i hadnt had the draft ready by the end of May I would be in trouble. But he has never answered any of my questions, or told me how to the research etc. (there are no seminars, etc here) There are quite a few more people doing a phd with this guy. THEY always tell me where he is, if he is on vacations etc. He practically ignores me. I am not sure if its worth it anymore. I dont wanna quit, mainly because i dont wanna hurt or embarrass him. I really do not know what to do. Obviously i have not written any draft yet because i do not know how to write it. Ive asked for bibliography, for help..but i never got any reply.

So is anyone waiting to hear from the Nato ACT traineeship program? We are supposed to hear back mid May. (however, im kind of certain i did not make it, i think they prefer eastern european candidates)
