Third year.  The panic sets in.  That and the first whisperings in your head of  ’run awaaaayyyyyy!’, ‘why why why’, ‘o fuck’.

By this stage, the textbook tells you that you should have your introduction written, your literature review completed and all data yadda yadda yadda.

Ignore that, by this stage you will have collected data or written programs etc and THATS IT.  You will spend most of the year thinking you are working, writing bits and bobs that you think will go in the final thesis but won’t and talking crap in the common room with the other students/staff.

Enjoy this because this won’t last.  Soon it will be 4th year and then the real panic sets in.
