Eight Days Until My Viva
It is now official: on 18 September, I will have my viva. Last week I was in Coventry for a conference, but I also visited Leicester to discuss preparations. I am now ready.
The End of My PhD Journey Is Getting Closer
I guess some apologies are in order. For the last two years, I have not been updating my blog regularly. I managed to cramp too many things into my life and eventually I had to set my priorities straight. But there are some very exciting developments, which I am happy to share with you
Burning the midnight oil
Between 20-22 March there was a car show in Budapest. The main theme was modified cars. However due to several factors one hall was devoted entirely to classic cars. And this is where yours truly came into the picture. In my last blog entry, I mentioned the sponsor to my forthcoming exhibition. Well, this organisation […]

Once I wrote my blogpost, it was like a weight has been lifted off my chest. And I wrote over 4,000 words in two weeks. This feels great. I have to admit this was a rather intense two weeks. Aside from scoring victories in my professional work, I finally put myself together and started writing […]
Man, this is hard work
I am not going to reveal anything revolutionary here. But doing my thesis is a lot harder than I expected. Well, this is not entirely true. I expected to be a challenge mentally, but now it is also a challenge on a whole new level. As a seasoned journalist, I know that the best inspiration […]
