LindsD Apr 2014 4:24pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,097 posts	0 LindsD Is there a thread for people studying? I know some of us are. I'm in the 2nd year of my PhD and struggling to do anything useful around the other crap I seem to have to do. Anyone want to join me for general moans and support (and celebrating good stuff, too)?
Tigerlily Apr 2014 4:28pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,000 posts	0 Tigerlily Can I join? I'm a 'mature' student as well as full time worker bee and mum of 3. And I think I'm the only single mum that goes to St. Andrews uni!! Well done with the PhD. I'm decades away from that level. 😀
LindsD Apr 2014 4:29pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,101 posts	0 LindsD Ooh, welcome. That sounds even more challenging than my lot.
Tigerlily Apr 2014 4:30pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,001 posts	0 Tigerlily Ooh look! My 1000th post! My that's a lot of happy birthdays I've wished over the years 😀
LindsD Apr 2014 4:31pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,103 posts	0 LindsD Oooh - that's exciting.
LindsD Apr 2014 4:32pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,104 posts	0 LindsD What are you studying, Tigerlily?
FreshStart Apr 2014 4:38pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,891 posts	0 FreshStart What a great idea for a thread I am in the final year of my PhD. At the moment I feel like I am never going to complete my thesis. My motivation is zero, I've had enough of reading and writing about the historical setting of compensation flows. I am unable to concentrate on my work for more than 10 minutes. I feel like quitting at the moment
LindsD Apr 2014 4:50pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,106 posts	0 LindsD Oh FS, I know how you feel. Hang around and we can support each other.
FreshStart Apr 2014 6:26pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,892 posts	0 FreshStart Thanks LindsD. From reading other forums it seems to be a common problem.
LindsD Apr 2014 6:28pm, 7 Apr 2014 1,109 posts	0 LindsD Yes. I went to see a support person at my uni (UCL) who said that, too. I just have so much else to do and am whispers actually not that interested in the topic of my PhD. I just want to get it so I can move onto the next stage.
