I haven’t given birth to a child or a book C.J, but l gave birth to a PhD and that was fucking excruciating 🤣. When l walked across the stage to receive the honour from the Dean, he said ‘Congratulations’ and l replied, “l have two words for you, never again!’ He did laugh. I am proud of the achievement, however academia was too toxic a work environment for me. 🙃
😂😂 it was bloody hard work, you really do swear blood in the last 6 months. Interesting that academia is so embedded in thought and ego it is unconscionable 🤦♀️. I had to get out.
Thanks C.J ❤️. I did the PhD for the ‘right’ reasons … it was centred on the curriculum work was leading in a school. I fell into academia in between schools.

WOW, Simone! No wonder you sound so intelligent. A PhD …that’s impressive, damned impressive!

Well, hard or not, you stayed the distance, gutted it out, and I’m proud of you.

That was meant to read sweat blood, but l guess you swear it as well 😂
I can imagine you swore it and sweated it all at the same time! 😁😁😁
