PsyDuck90 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I just started my program this week, and my cohort is super nice, and my advisor is impressed with my statistics and research skills and wants me to explore an existing data set for a possible publication! I'm very excited about the next few years. Teaching Faculty Wannabe and TwirlingBlades 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ResilientDreams Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Interview went pretty well! Not sure if the lab will be the best fit for me, but he's doing some interesting work and I feel like we had a good conversation.

Halek Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I remembered that Hamilton exists. This was my writing music back for my capstone in undergrad and also seems like perfect "angry about relationships" music. Thank you, Lin Manuel Miranda. You've made and PhD student sing while writing in lab. AllieKat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokePsych Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ok. I really like working with my advisor - it makes everything else about my sorta weird situation good again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halek Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I learned that my advisor went through the same relationship drama when she was in her first year of her phD that I'm going through now. Is the drama getting better? No. It's getting worse. Somehow. But it makes me feel better to know that someone has been in my position and has gotten through it. Even if she did say that she almost quit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halek Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I ended up dropping in on a meeting an undergrad was having with my advisor about life after college. I ended up talking to her for an hour. After, my advisor said I did a good job. I'm really happy that I was able to give her some really honest advice.
