Training for My Own Ph.D. Olympics

Yeah, yeah. Another whining from this lazy grad student. :)

Well, what I learn today is that to be a good (a.k.a. productive) Ph.D. student, you need to keep your body in good shape.

I've been keeping extra fit lately as my Philosophy exam & Qualitative Research exam is coming near (this Sat! ARGHHHHH!!!!).

I've increased my daily jogging regimen to 1 hour and when my body is aching so much like today, I'll switch to swimming instead. Or may be just brisk-walking. I really feel like sweating out.

The trouble with swimming is that I'm not good at freestyle. And with breaststroke,I tend to get thicker over the shoulder blade and "wing" (forgot what that muscle is called in Latin.) Not that I mind, but I wanna be lean and mean now than bulking up like when I was doing weight training. If you know what I mean.

Anyway, time to hit the track. I'm a bit late tonight. So many things to do. So little time. So help me, Blog! hee hee hee

Be ready to sacrifice if U wanna do a Ph.D.!

I learned this lesson a hard way.

I think time is a person's most valuable resource. Ph.D. studies is so demanding on your time. It reminds me of the story of a guy selling his soul to the devil or soemthing in exchange of what he wants.

The devil gets back.

Forget career, family or even love life if you want to be a Ph.D. student. A good one, that is.

It's an all-or-nothing game. The choice is yours.
