After the hours of searching on jobs.ac.uk for anything remotely research assistanty, I sometimes feel so deflated that I begin to consider doing a PhD.
It seems that I think whilst running research projects for someone else would be good, would it not just be better to run one for myself? It might also mean I can actually continue to write about this science lark with a bit more credence, and feel less of a fraud.
Also there’s the fact that when I was 7 my mom said she’d buy me a Llama if I became ‘Dr Olana Banana’ so I could be a ‘Llama Farmer’ too!
Keep seeing PhD’s for epilepsy research and thinking ‘yeah, I think I could do that’. I mean what I do know is that I really, really, really don’t want to join the real world, ever if I can help it.
Will keep ‘you’ updated on my progress with this, I am very likely to change my mind.
p.s my Libel piece was published in my Uni paper today, under comment and debate. Hopefully it’ll attract a few more signatures. http://www.libelreform.org
