I have started a PhD.
Starting a new job, in a new city, new
apartment, new flatmates, new department, office, colleagues…
Almost everything in my life suddenly changed and changed quite
drastically.
This is the sort of change that brings
chaos, along with new challenges.
In an attempt to deal with this change
and protect certain important aspects of my life I started planning
and organising (how I love organising!) ahead of time in an attempt
to mitigate some of the unavoidable uncertainty that comes with such
a Big Move. I'm organising everything, from my belongings, through
computers, to streamlining the way I work and keep track of projects
and tasks.
I'm curious to see how it will all work
out and whether systems established ahead of the time will actually
work out. How much have I managed to predict? How right (or wrong)
was I about the type of life I will lead during my PhD?
Who knows, maybe I will find that the
steps I undertook made my life a thousand times easier. But then
again, maybe after a month or two I will throw my hands in the air
and start from scratch.
Time will show.
