Mark, you are so lucky that your bathing in noxema days are over.

Only problem is, I don't have GR posting privileges. Do you?

It does feel like swimming through jello, though swimming through jello sounds more fun! I wonder if we should set up a Groupthink academic work support group?

You sound really disciplined! I am trying to structure too. It's difficult though. My mom has been trying to offer me treats too for different stages, haha. So far I have negotiated an Easter egg and some earrings.

Thank you for your comment, that is really helpful. I do need to stop beating myself up. Got the first bit done, so just need to keep the momentum and move on to the next.

Thank you for your reply, that's really, really helpful. I managed to get through the first half and submitted it to my supervisor. Now on to the next bit!

I am writing up my thesis, which is due in at the end of June. I've procrastinated a lot lately due to having a lot of anxiety but today I managed to do quite a bit of work on it and I'm nearly finished the first half. I feel quite good! However, a part of me also feels worried I won't be able to continue with the…

Thank you so much for your comment. Jezebel's science journalism is generally bad but this is the worst article I've seen so far. It's irresponsible to report on a study like this as if it is an established fact. The study in question is also open source so why not provide a link to it? There are so many problems with…

Definitely this! And add the combination of tired and hungry to the list. My boyfriend and I had a silly fight about nothing, all because our top two choices for restaurants were closed late one evening and we couldn't agree on where to go to eat.

So glad to hear that. Do you have people you can talk to?

I am also still thinking of you. I hope you are okay.

Funniest comment I've read ever.

A truer sentence was never spoken.

Hi,

Lordy! I just compared prices of the US and UK websites - something that costs $23 on the US site costs £23 on the UK one. You guys have it so much cheaper!

Thanks! I'm visiting the US in two weeks so want to stock up on skincare while I'm over there. However, I've just seen that Paula's choice have a UK site now so I will be using them.

Hello! Can you buy Paula's Choice in Sephora?

And if he comes back to your apartment again, please please please don't let him in, call the police. He is not safe.

Well done - I am so glad to hear you escaped. You are incredibly brave and strong, probably than you realise. I know that it must be so tough to not have a support system where you are, but for your own health (mental and physical), try not to get in touch with him. He hurt you, and he might hurt you again. Trying to…
