That would have been during the first year of my PhD - I think I was struggling to get into a decent routine of doing work. The lack of timetable and surprisingly hands off supervision resulted in a tricky start to my research!


So many of us used to refer to ourselves in the third person - why was this a thing? :lol:

It's because you when you comprised a post back then it started with your own name, and it was the only way to have them make grammatical sense. Nowadays Facebook prompts you with 'What's on your mind?' so everyone just posts things directly.
