On my long journey towards maturity , I have reached the stage where I can now identify fully with the existential plight famously analysed and narrated by that great prober of human crises that is Britney Spears. Ms Spears, shrewdly identifying the specific requirements for this predicament to end, further argues:.
Not being a student anymore is, I would like to point out first and foremost, an absurd situation for anyone to come to terms with. It all happened very unexpectedly, on my PhD viva day.
Just when I thought everything was going well, my examiner said congratulations, and then:. From this day onwards, you are not a student anymore, and you will never be a student ever again.
Well, unless you decide to study something entirely different at some point later in your life. Immediately the panic generated by the first sentence was replaced by feverish imaginings of what I could study next.
But it was too late, my supervisor came up to me and cut off my tiny Padawan braid , and it was the end of my student life. I am now in the strange situation of having to answer to no one. Not very long till the second Sesame Seade book comes out! This is a book for readers who would have liked to be lizards.
