OMG, this is not a failure...a mere bump on the road, seriously girl...do you have any idea how many things I have tried twice....?

I did my AB driving license twice. Parallel parking did me in!

lol... thanks you two!! I'm feeling better now and am ready to get back to studying. Hey - at least I know what writing a GMAT is like

hurrah! Experience is always helpful.

and oh... by the way... I just failed failed my first Ph.D. and am starting a new one.

Eingang thank you for sharing your situation. Good luck! I'm sure the second one will go better.

it was a long, extended failure -- 12 years! I'm in the same research group as I was before, though. I'm excited.

you're such an inspiration. Your commitment and faith are so strong. Do you love what you're studying?

you mean I'm amazingly stubborn. (-: I've just switched to educational technology which is what I actually do as I'm ...

with the UK's Open University where I develop courses for distance education and teach other courses for them.

neat. I used to be a program coordinator for a technical school in Canada. I oversaw and hired instructors to teach our distance ed.

instructors have such a tough job. I took an introductory course on pedagogy. Fascinating but lesson planning and prep takes a lot of time!
