Comrade in battle

Hi there! Another update from a miserable Dutch girl stuck in Oxford. And don't let the exclamation mark fool you, it's still shit out here. But, I was right about the quiet (English) girl: she's awesome and we've become very close friends. As it turns out, I'm not the only one who doesn't feel at home in the lab, she just knows how to hide it very well. Which is probably why she lasted until know. But life in the lab has become a little more bearable now that we can share our angers and frustrations. To be honest I don't think I'd be able to survive without her, and she's said as much about me. Right now I'm beginning to feel a little guilty about leaving in June, because it means I will leave here alone in the talons of the other girls... 

With love, Willemijn

p.s. Another PhD comic to describe the insane long working hours and the lack of windows in our lab (seriously, from 08:00 to 22:00?!)
