A Stumbling Block or Two

I have no project now. I was told that the project that I found to be interesting isn't suitable for a PhD project. I was also told that funding could be slightly dubious but to apply for the scholarship anyway. I may not get it as there are a few factors against me like a crappy GPA and not holding an Honours degree. Though having said that I do have relevant research experience and I do have a published report to wave about at people who care about such things.

I still haven't gotten very far with the paperwork. I'm tired of filling out paperwork for the university frankly. I know I'm running well out of time here but I'm fed up and tired of dealing with administration at the moment. I strongly suspect this is due to the fact that my pay, (or lack of), has been badly mishandled. I'll get it done by the end of the week.

I am so over tutoring the high school student that I took on some months back. She keeps missing classes and to be honest, I wasn't hired as a teacher. It also doesn't help when she doesn't do the work I set her in the first place. Just how one is supposed to pass a subject based on this method I don't know. Fine if you're a prodigy but when you're not?

I've turned down a couple of job offers elsewhere though was told to call them once I had finished my PhD. One place even suggested I complete the PhD on a part-time basis. Not entirely sure what is happening out there in industry but things are sounding like they're more desperate for staff than usual. I know I've removed my CV from recruitment agencies and HR pools so all I can figure that people are contacting me through word of mouth information. I've done this so I can just focus for the next few years ahead on one thing.

Yes, I'm still applying despite having no project, (not so good), and doubts over funding, (also not good).
