A bit about me

I wanted to provide a brief overview of who I am, before you read on. This way, if I am not the person you are interested in, we can part ways and still be friends.
You're still reading....this is a good sign....

I am Nicola.

I am a remarkably average person.

This probably breaks a key rule of any blog making 101 course on "how to attract and maintain the interest of new people" as it's hardly the most inspiring start to a blog. 

I am in my 30s, I live in London; stuck in a rented flat because I can't afford to save up a deposit. I could waffle on forever about finances....

Any way..I decided to do a PhD to try and improve my career prospects. To really challenge myself, I also had a baby.




I have just finished the PhD and the monster I have is now 3. 

There have been some key moments since beginning my adventures, in academia and motherhood, upon which everyone has the same questions. Now I have a little bit more time (and sanity), I thought this blog would/might/could offer support/opinions/information to other people who are either considering or are currently embarking on one or both of the adventures I have.

So, hello!


Mum, PhD.

Multitasking deadlines and parenting

Image
I’ve lost count of the number of times someone said to me “I just don’t know how you manage to do a PhD and raise a child” during my studies.  And it made me realise that, perhaps from the outside looking in to my life, it did look challenging. I wanted to write this post for anyone who might be thinking of studying, whatever the course. To discuss the multitasking of child rearing and meeting deadlines. The majority of challenges of any course [be it undergraduate, accountancy, PhD etc.] are the same for most parents. If it’s not about the money side of doing the course, it will be about whether or not you can fit it all in and meet the course deadlines. The unsurprising underlying truth of this multitasking challenge is that it is difficult. It is difficult logistically, it is difficult financially, and it is difficult psychologically – particularly if your studying is seen as a “hobby” (as mine was by my family) and if you don’t get a weekly/monthly pay slip for doin

12 months in: Upgrade time!

Did you know when a PhD students starts a PhD they are actually registered as an MPhil (a masters degree)? About a year in, the university will “grade” the student to assess if both the work completed and planned work for the next two or so years is achievable and merits a PhD award. If they decide it is, the student is then moved on to the PhD award. After the initial flurry of feeing like you haven’t done enough, wondering how can reading be your only job, then finally establishing a research question at about the 6 months mark, you can be forgiven for feeling lulled in to a false sense of “I got this”. At the 12 month mark, it is typically the case that you are either knee deep in or just about to embark upon recruitment and participant data. It is during this time that you are asked to upgrade. This is the first time that you will officially be assessed as a PhD candidate and as such, it is stressful! (What if they fail me?!). But the good news is, everyone who I have

5 points to consider when returning to education as a parent

If you are thinking about or are returning to education after time away, then this is the post for you. PhD Mum Returning to education as a mum is a hard decision and there are a lot of things to consider; can I really afford it? Can I fit it in with my children? Am I clever enough to do it? Am I too old? When I was on maternity leave, I began to question everything I thought I was. I felt my brain turned to mush because my sole reason for waking up was to feed and change my son. I returned to the PhD after 6 months of maternity leave. In pretty much every way, my experience of the PhD mum journey has been amazing – that’s not to say it hasn’t been challenging – but I have experienced the support of a fantastic supervisory team, the working hours were extremely flexible, and my partner was very understanding. I think if one of these three things were not in place, then my experience would have been something completely different.   Here are my five point
