What a day!
Delighted to say I successfully defended my PhD and passed with minor corrections.
So incredibly grateful for the most amazing examiners and for my wonderful director of studies and IPC who made the day such a memorable one. ❀️

Aww he’s gorgeous. That’s a lot of trust so quick. Hope he continues to thrive.
Rescue cats are the best. Just lost my 18 year old last week. Super sad but grateful I could spoil her till the very end.

Tall green glass bottle with a pink and yellow lid and a purple sticker saying β€˜bottle green mango and passionfruit cordial”.

Tall green glass bottle with a pink and yellow lid and a purple sticker saying β€˜bottle green mango and passionfruit cordial”.

Been drinking a lot of this cordial. Bottle said 1:4 with water but I found it a bit weak so pouring a solid 1:3.
Husband tasted it last night & looked like he was going to be sick.
On revision of the instructions it’s actually suppose to be 1:14 cordial:water. My sweet tooth/bad eyes strike again πŸ˜‚

Home from holiday at 4:30 last night. At the vets before 5pm with a very sick cat. Not even 24 hours later and I’m Β£600 down and waiting to bring her home to palliate. 18 years old and she’s still bringing the drama. 🐈
Whatever time she has left will be filled with lots of cuddles and dreamies ❀️

Yesterday I chucked on my dungarees as I was examining & planned to change into my scrubs when I got to work.
Plans changed & I got to play a 12 year old patient in the OSCE.
3 people assumed my dungarees were a character outfit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ
Nope just a middle age woman who hasn’t grown up 🀣

I submitted my PhD thesis about 6 weeks ago & couldn’t believe how hard that feeling hit.
Our supervisors wouldn’t let us submit if we weren’t capable. You’ll be awesome.
No one warned me about the dip/nothingness after submission. My top tip is have something lovely planned. X

Sound cheesy but mine is emails from happy students. Also, seeing former students thriving and progressing in their careers. Worth more than any paper.

We have made so many changes to assessments. It’s a huge challenge.
Easier to spot in essays but very difficult to prove.
