COVID-19: milestone reached
This is my reminder to celebrate the milestones in your life (no matter how small they might be) and take a break if you need it.
3 years to the day
It’s been a full 3 years since I started my PhD. So much has changed, so much has happened, so much has been achieved in these 3 years.
Covid-19: time is so arbitrary
Whilst in some ways I feel I have adjusted a little too well to lockdown life, other aspects are very difficult to get used to.
Third year is here.
It was a pure coincidence that this Tedx event was exactly 2 years into my PhD, I only actually realised on Tuesday, but I feel it’s a pretty symbolic milestone event.
“Why do we fall, Bruce?”
I would say this is a milestone in my thinking and approach to my PhD. I can not do everything, that’s not how research works and that’s not how life works. I’m not failing by asking for help, I’m deferring to those with the skills to do it so I can focus on the areas that are developing my skills. Trying to do it all myself is just going to get in the way of me getting anything done.
A year already?!
I think it just takes time and then one day it clicks.
Officially Shruti Turner, AFHEA
Today, I got an email confirming my successful application for Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). So I’m just documenting the addition of another 5 letters after my name. YAY!
First abstract accepted!
Just a quick note to remind myself of this milestone: I got my first abstract accepted for a conference and I’m just about 5 months into my PhD!
First session of teaching done, onto the next!
For anyone wondering whether to get involved in teaching, but you’re on the fence because you’re not sure if you know enough or if you’re good enough: DO IT.
