Bet On It by Troy remains the most motivational song to exist. I am taking no questions. It is single handedly getting me through my thesis

house party doof doof monday morning daylist? don't mind if i do

[sarah @folkysar]

my spotify wrapped is going to be wild this year i can already feel it. the combination of thesis hell & going back to the gym means I'm almost exclusively listening to grime & 00s hits 🤷

[sarah @folkysar]

the typos and lack of sense in this echo my current bamboozlement

[sarah @folkysar]

honestly imputation is like "oh you thought you were going to smash this analysis today? how about we spent 3 days rerunning and editing the same thing xoxox"

[sarah @folkysar]

(Shamelessly replying to this in the hopes someone actually sees it - remember when Twitter used to actually help you to get engagement?)

[sarah @folkysar]

Back at the PhD tomorrow after a week off, entering into the beginning of the end 😬
People who have survived beyond the end of their PhD, how did you manage thesis writing? What boundaries did you put in place or wish that you had done? #EpiTwitter #AcademicTwitter

[sarah @folkysar]

I'm detemined to try my best to get finished within the remaining time, but I'm worried about burning myself out. Some of that I know will be unavoidable, but hopefully being intentional before I jump in might help a bit? So really welcome any suggestions or advice!

[sarah @folkysar]

what are people looking for when they want you to "propose a study" for an interview? like genuinely any help especially if you have been on the interviewing side
(not that I have an interview or anything obviously👀)

[sarah @folkysar]

writing future research proposals is just rapidly oscillating between "this idea slaps, they should hire me right here right now" and "i have no thoughts, what is regression, how do you do the things"

[sarah @folkysar]

i say finishing like i have even really started it. truly it is like i have been running into a wall over and over again

[sarah @folkysar]

what if instead of finishing my final phd study i just ran away

[sarah @folkysar]

also what do you mean most tickets are £180-200?

[sarah @folkysar]

ticketmaster can get in the bin, started as 600 in the queue but still no sabrina tix for us because every time I selected seats they'd already been sold

[sarah @folkysar]

they fixed it 😌😌

A balmy 27 degrees in the office this morning once again.
