Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Out of my depth?!Oh yes... doing a PhD. Three years after deciding how much fun it would be to stay a student for an extra 3 years, I've now got to produce a 60,000+ word thesis and defend it. D'oh!!! Added to this I'm now paying for it myself as the money has run out.....
