I have been offered my first choice of #PhD scholarship! I’ll be studying for a doctorate in psychology looking at β€œborderline personality disorder” and sexual relationships at the Universities of Surrey and Wollongong (subject to getting all the paperwork agreed). I’m so thrilled!
@purplepadma Congratulations!! That's ace! This has been my favourite fediverse storyline of the last few days and it's so awesome that it had a happy ending :)
@ElStevo Thank you! It has been a bit of a soap opera! Thanks for following through the twists and turns
@purplepadma yay! So excited for you! πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
@purplepadma How wonderful! Congratulations!
@bodhipaksa Thank you! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
@purplepadma You're welcome. It's been interesting witnessing a little of your journey.
@bodhipaksa It’s been a long year since I first thought of applying for a PhD. And still five months until I start!
@purplepadma congratulations!!!! =)
@Vampykitten Thanks! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
@purplepadma Hey!! Congratulations!!! That is wonderful!!
@purplepadma That is fantastic news Charlotte!! πŸ₯°
@AggyKins Thanks saggy! Lovely to see you, how are you?
@purplepadma
Still ploughing on in the Twitter-verse 😱
Lurking on here sometimes πŸ‘€β˜ΊοΈ
Apart from that, all’s fine in Aggy- Land πŸ™ƒ
@purplepadma β€œSaggy” is quite appropriate 🀣🀣
@AggyKins Oops sorry! Silly phone 😹
@purplepadma This is HUGE! I am so happy for you. You took it one step at a time and look how it turned out! β™₯️ πŸ‘
@Sharonbw Thanks! πŸ˜ƒ it was first suggested that I do a PhD when I was 22 but I didn’t feel ready… then there wasn’t another chance. At 49 I’m finally doing it!
@purplepadma wooohoooo!!!! That is super exciting! Now we form a collective πŸ˜‚
@Sawherry AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
@purplepadma we will do it after peer review!!
@Sawherry But what if we have to make revisions to our plan?
@purplepadma it is only peer reviewer three who can stop us. We'll pick a journal with only two.
@purplepadma Oh, huge congratulations! πŸ‘πŸ‘
@purplepadma hooray, congratulations, that's amazing!
Will you have to be *in* Surrey for this? Or indeed Woollongong?
@erzsebel I have a Teams meeting with my supervisor tomorrow to discuss how much I have to be on campus. But yes, I will have to go to Wollongong!
@purplepadma exciting! You must be bubbling over.
@erzsebel I am! I really didn’t expect to be offered this one, I’ve no academic background in psychology at all
@purplepadma this is fantastic!!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ I'm so happy for you.
