The Doctor is in!

[starrylizard]

I handed in my corrected thesis yesterday. Graduation is in December, but for all intensive purposes I am now Dr Starrylizard. Yay!

So to celebrate, I have uploaded a new LJ banner!
starrylizard: The Doctor is in. :D

Why thank you! It feels more real now! :)

Congrats, Doctor :D

Oh no, honey! *hugs* So you're doing a Masters now? I'm not at all up to date with the flist.

I'm not at all sure it was worth the pain, but I'm glad to have it finally in my grasp anyway. Thank you for the congrats! :)

Thank ye! Feels real now! :)

Yep, saw R anyway. He bought coffee and doughnuts up to the lab for me and his other students and quizzed me on some stuff for the honours chick. She's actually reading my thesis, poor girl! Ha!

*Big Grin* Yo! :D

That's excellent news. Congratulations.

Unfortunately yes. I've discovered that I find academia rather dull compared to my new job, and I find it quite difficult to justify putting myself through that hell just to get where I already am. It just goes to show you what you can achieve if you are prepared to move out of the convenience of the big smoke a bit, step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself a little.

I would NEVER have had the same opportunities if I had stayed at home in Melbourne, and I suspect I may very well have been working at the pub when I finished my doctorate. Or even *shudders* going onto Post-doc.

The good news is that I'm not throwing it all away entirely. I'm still going to be getting SOMETHING positive out of it. Which makes me smile...

Nice banner, Doctor ;-P

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly! :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Why thank ye! *preens* lol

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oh good! And seriously good on you. I'm at the point now where I'm contemplating stacking shelves at Woolies to get me the hell outta the house each day. I don't want to do a post-doc, but apparently I have no experience useful for the real world. *head meet desk* But, I'm trying to keep a cheery face on it and entertain all options. *sigh*
