Record of Achievement
I was having a bit of a think over the weekend about stuff and even though I've lost some of the skills and stuff I had at 16 I've actually achieved quite a lot these past nearly 3 years of my PhD.
- * I've learnt a completely new scientific discipline, not a different branch of biology but actually something way different that I had never, ever done before. And I've done pretty well at learning the theory and the experimental side of things
- * I've nearly got my first ever research paper published in a pretty well respected journal and the entire content is my data only.
- * I've travelled alone to another country.
- * I've learnt to cook. I can do scrummy curries and risottos now, previously I could heat up stuff and bake cakes.
- * I've improved my maths skills.
- * I've become more self aware and understand how others see me.
- * I've learnt how to edit and make movies on my computer.
- * I AM A LION. Rrrrrrrroooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I don't think that's a bad list although there's still heaps of stuff I'd like to add to it.
