Zotero favorizing a particular university…
Posted on January 25, 2008 by doctoralstudent
Well, it seems like Zotero won’t work with just any university library. If I try to use it with Lund University Library or Stockholm University Library, it encounters “translation problems”. But when browsing Gothenburg University Library, Zotero is all in and has no problem saving posts. Is it just me or is there a certain [...]

Blog - the time thief
Posted on January 24, 2008 by doctoralstudent
I wonder if I will end up writing so much about my dissertation that I won’t find the time to write the dissertation… Hopefully not. I will consider blogging a fun way to take the pressure off writing - now doesn’t that sound good?!

What I didn’t expect
Posted on January 23, 2008 by doctoralstudent
I didn’t expect that I would be getting my own room at the department, so that was a pleasant surprise! It’s amazing how a small thing such as a key can make you feel welcome. And someone had written my name on the door before I came, so that when I walked about looking for [...]

The beginning
Posted on January 23, 2008 by doctoralstudent
Well, this is the beginning of my life as PhD student in linguistics. At the same time I have reached the goal that I had set for myself years ago, before I even started studying at the university. The goal was, obviously, to get into to the PhD program - and here I am!
