I start a PhD this Fall. After a great deal of deliberation, drama, romance and other filmi scenes, I finally chose to go to UT Dallas.
With this decision made, I can now breathe and not feel guilty that I love keeping house. (more on that subject later)
I’m wearing pretty nail paint just to prevent myself from biting my nails.
I have a lot of ideas. Unfortunately, none are entirely suitable…
I always wonder why it’s called research when what we’re really trying to do is discover something new. Perhaps it’s called research because we can never find what we’re looking for the first time. Once we tweak the data, we find what we hoped to find. Therefore, research always works. Searching rarely does.
I am motivated to do research because I always misplace things and I’m re-searching for them.
I’m hoping that a PhD can help me postpone real life for a while…
I want to learn. I want to teach. And I want to make money doing them.
I believe I’m ready to pursue a PhD because I’ve already started to work on my procrastination skills.
