Being on the edge of more than one discipline can sometimes be the most terrifying thing ever.
You feel like a sailor out at sea that doesn’t have anywhere to call home and can’t even speak the language.
That sense of freedom and tracking unchartered territories is why I love the PhD.
But like everyone, I have my fears and doubts about myself, the project and me as a researcher.
It’s that fear of Unreached potential that’s scares me the most, what if I don’t do the work justice, what if I let down this idea that could change so many different disciplines and what if I’m not enough to do it.
These I think are things everyone feels, PhD’s are hard ……..
Now what I’m trying to work on is sitting on the edge and looking out without fear………………………………………
Then I think about how lucky I am;
· My supervisors are the best they support me and push me to be the best version of myself.
· I have learnt so much throughout this process and the research has come so far.
· I’m learning to understand so many disciplines.
· I have a new respect for concrete, it’s pretty much like baking ;)
· The freedom to explore materials and see what they can achieve
· To do work I really care about
Let’s see how that goes
