So, about my PhD...
The road was long and stony and, as some of you might know, I had a lot of issues with my supervisor along the way~ (like A LOT, up to a point where I started to have real nightmares ... makes one wonder if the whole thing is worth it, ne?)
Anyway. I actually wanted to make it sound a lot more joyous than that :'D
Because - last week I had my thesis defense!! (which went astonishingly well, if I may say so myself! I am really proud for knowing all the answers! Well, except that really tricky one that's still haunting me, but that's still a good percentage...). All the sleepless nights finally paid off! :'D
So now I officially have the title of Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat. if you want to keep it personal ;D), as awarded within the program of "Physics of Biological and Complex Systems"!
