Here we go since I handed in my resignation my mind has been in great rest. There is just atone of minute details to look at moving out puting my stuff on storage sharpening my CV looking for another job or academic position... what can I say life carries on and the enrgy is required. My girlfriend is really standing by me and I am very gratefull for her support. However I am leaving Brimingham on the 29th for a month and that will not be easy. A month is a long time and a lot of things can change in my life... yet I am sure of one thing... I like her and I would like her to stay in my life. It does not appear to be simple yet I am sure something good will happen. My resignation will be the best thing that happened in my life... it may not appear so but I am more and more certain of it.

Mood: Up beat and lookingto the future with tranquile eyes like looking at the mediterranean sea...

That is it the decission has been implemented to the tune of the following lines I have resigned from my current job. She read it but did not understand it I am sure.

I hereby hand my formal resignation from my position as a PhD student under your supervision. The reasons for my resignation could be explained to great lenghts.

However it should only suffice for me to state that I do not feel the appropriate level of support or academic supervision is present.

I undertook this assignement with great confidence in my capabilities and I still think I can take this PhD but the working environment has deterred me from achieving my full academic potential.

That was it ... I even made my own mail round... offered to ease the transition and that is it. Point finished. I am out of here once again with my whole life ahead of me and just lots of stories to tell my grandkids about.

It feels so good to be over this hurdle. I am now free to inslave my-self somewhere else hopefully somewhre where I can work properly.

How can I say the day has been an absolute roller coaster. Had some nice results but I am seriously lacking the motivation to pursue them further. My girlfriend was feeling to well this morning lunchtime... hope she feels better now.

Its tricky how things just go high and low in the same day. its very funny.

Will try and cook something nice for both of us tonight. But the heat under this circumstances is just ackward to live by. I guess I am just waiting to be on my hamac between the two palm trees in my garde. Who knows... Its 10 days away but it somehow feels miles away... to a certain extent it would be better if I wasn't leaving but I guess I need the thing....
