The days before the Christmas holidays are usually hectic since many people want to wrap things up and start the new year fresh. This was the same for me too! I did my halfway seminar at the end of November. Here in Sweden, half-way seminars are intended for PhDs who have passed almost two years of their journey and is an evaluation to the progress they’ve made. To me, it was a very good opportunity to assess where I am and where I want/need to be in my academic career.
With that ending, I could enjoy New Year’s holidays peacefully since I decided to stay home and relax! Usually, holiday travels come with a lot of tiredness afterward (which requires another holiday on top!), and I needed some time to myself to keep distance from all the PhD work, and do nothing!
Now that life has regained its pace and we’re back to the routine again, I’m looking forward to starting new projects with energy, and of course, seeing our network at the final spear conference in San Sebastien!
