I am not going to lie. Doing a PhD in a foreign country is stressful. Stressful enough that I didn't feel like I could even write about it until it was a little under control. Contrary to popular belief there are foreign customs and a different language here. I understand that maybe next to Canada, the U.K. is probably the most similar culturally wise but that is part of the problem. It's not so different that I can switch between worlds, so the false confidence that I know what to expect keeps getting derailed constantly and every time it does my stress level goes up. --
