@MoistenedTart @jonathonnunan Always plenty of cafe jobs if you want a side job while studying (we love our coffee!) But as a PhD thereโs often teaching/marking/ research assistant opportunities that pop up too
@MoistenedTart Depends what part of Melb youโre coming from, about 1.5hrs from me but up to 2 hours (or more) other side of city to start. Iโve heard of companies that deliver food/camp gear at agreed locations out there so you donโt have to carry all for multiple day hikes
@MoistenedTart I would say similar for pretty places to day hike. If you go a little further then thereโs stunning scenery towards the great ocean road for overnight hikes too
@itsabelslife @MoistenedTart I grew up on the Bellarine and was so unimpressed moving to inner melb when friends suggested a beach day and it was not what I was used to. So I definitely agree, worth the drive back!
@angeplusfour I remember a while back a cocktail bar was serving skittles vodka that I think was made like that - hopefully your gummy bear vodka is just as tasty! ๐ธ
@SwimmerJlo I get asked for ID every time I buy wine or gin with a mask on. I am mid 30s and so amused- been asked more in the last 2 yrs than the previous 5 yrs
@MoistenedTart I like the concept of โmeaningful stressโ. I am mid-candidature and the pandemic certainly made it all more stressful than I anticipated. But contextualising it as meaningful stress somehow helps
@robynbryant33 I just searched everywhere and had to dip into my โbillsโ account to purchase one for my chronically ill sister who doesnโt drive so has no way of getting tested without putting others at risk on transport. Absolutely nothing casual or social about that
@amyandbenji Set aside time to plan and prep your meals. Saves money, reduces food waste and is such a relief after a long day to know you donโt need to cook from scratch each night!
@benitakolovos Took 5hr 20min online -multiple errors and crashing, 2 laptops trying. But I am booked in finally ๐ an extra 40min effort on top and got 2 of my sisters booked too. Exhausting but worth it!
@claytooon64 Thank you. Although I havenโt completed the degree yet, this referred to accepting the scholarship to commence it. Still a long way to go yet ๐
2 life changes in past couple months: amicably ended a 10yr marriage and accepted a PhD scholarship. Energised by both decisions yet all anyone can seem to focus on is their disappointment in me for how both = no babies ๐ far out weโve still a long way to go
