Undertake a PhD

As I continue studying, I keep moving the goal posts. I started in 2004, back then my sights were set on a degree. When I got the degree, I went on to honours degree. Then I decided on a Masters degree at University (which is what I am currently at) and over the past year I have been researching the possibilities of a PhD. This is now looking more and more likely. I have an area of interest that I’d like to conduct research in, I have a University, the blessing of a Head of Dept and a supervisor. The only obstacle left is funding. The money is drying up in this recession. 

I hope money does not end up being the reason I don’t do this. That would be crazy. So – hopefully this time next year, I’ll have started into a PhD and this time 3 or 4 years from now I’ll be able to tick this off as another “thing to do before I die”.

Note to self….try not to die in the next 4 years
