Postgraduate Lives: June 2015
http://postgraduatelives.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. The journeys within the research journey: Making time for wellbeing. Some mornings it's easy to find inspiration to fuel my thinking. My cycle journey to university presents many of the same features each day, experienced a little differently. Loosing feeling in my hands and feet is not the most obvious contribution to a sense of wellbeing, but it sure helps me to appreciate my office once I get there. And some days, moving around on a bike is just tested to the limits. Do share p...

Friday, April 10, 2015. Seeing the signs - the switched-on analysis brain. I realised I had 'analysis brain' a few weekends ago as I was driving back from a day of interviewing participants. Being a Sunday afternoon, the offerings on National radio were more entertainment than current affairs, but something must have caught my attention. Perhaps it was the mention of Facebook? Currently I'm immersed in transcribing. I'm actively looking for themes instead of tripping over them. It's a laborious y...Profe...

Postgraduate Lives: September 2015

Monday, September 28, 2015. Guest Blog: The distraction(s) of life. One of the dilemmas. I have published some stuff and I am determined to do some more, but other distractions keep coming along. I suspect that I am also becoming more comfortable with the distractions that I choose and life puts my way. I am better at playing with distractions and being in the moment. Links to this post. Monday, September 14, 2015. If you live in the UK and someone asks ‘what’s New Zealand like? And I guess that is a pre...

Monday, July 20, 2015. Producing Snazzy Posters (in PowerPoint). Nevertheless, the beauty of creating a poster is that it forces you to condense your ideas into the space of a poster. Ultimately it may help you get that single thesis statement. In this post I am going to expand upon this to making posters in PowerPoint. This is what I have found works for me without any design skills or fancy stuff – take what you need and leave the rest. There are other options available, including using Inkscape. So wi...

Wednesday, April 27, 2016. I dont deserve to be here': One postgrad student's musings on imposter syndrome. Those old familiar feelings of inadequacy ramped up even more this year and begun to mess with my ability to get a good night's sleep. I would see Master of Education under the heading qualification in progress, there in black and white, and not be able to understand or believe it. Why hadn't I been found out yet? So what exactly is 'imposter syndrome'? Feeling like a fraud – the thought that...

11/04/2015 · 11:14 am. I won’t be able to make it back home for the celebrations but I have it on good authority that birthday plans are in place. There’ll be flowers and lavender hand creams and cake and ice cream and probably chocolates too. I’ll send a card, maybe a postcard with a nice picture of Singapore, and I’ll get some Arnott’s Assorted Creams in honour of the occasion. Happy birthday, Grandma. Filed under Serious stuff.

21/09/2016 · 4:23 pm. Opportunity cost is one of the very few things I remember from the economics unit I had to take at uni. Until the last couple of months, I’ve never considered the opportunity cost of moving to Singapore. The benefits always seemed to outweigh anything we left behind, friends and family aside, of course. Plus, it’s not that far to visit. Don’t come. We’re ok. Just send lots of pictures. Enjoy your holiday. Enjoy my holiday. I never expected that to be one of the most upsetting th...
