My first two months

A lot of people have asked me what it's like to start a PhD and whether I still love what I do (because that's basically my full time job now). That led me to writing this post, I just wanted to give my experience of what it's like in the first couple of months. I officially started on the 25th of September 2017, but I was already spending most of my summer reading all about my subject and coming up with ideas. When you're crazy about your subject, you will just want to immerse yourself in it every second of the day! So when I 'officially' started it didn't feel like I had just because I spent all summer being too excited. Nevertheless, it was completely different to doing a bachelors or masters because you don't have set hours of lectures anymore. You are your own boss essentially, in the way that you decide your hours and how you are going to do everything. Your supervisors are there of course, but the point of a PhD is to do independent research.

Welcome to my blog!
