Genesis of this Journey

Sadness began as I walked through the door to the office of the school administration. Like dark circles, my life for the next three years played before me. Did I say "I'm doomed".. I didn't but it did look like it. I cried my first postgrad research cry on my first day, how pathetic!

Well, what they don't really explain to you are details of a full-time research. I will explain: 

• To finish excellently well, technically 24 hours a day is not enough!
• You need minimum 60 hours a week (these times are for Christians only coz church is subtracted from the hours).
• Having a Mon-Fri five hours a day job? I strongly advice not to dare! I've got almost same dilemma
• Living two hours by road travel away from University? Your biggest nightmare!

Put all of these and extra personal work going, you can understand my point. Sleep is now a luxury. Four hours of sleep is a great gift!

If you are considering a research postgrad, mostly a PhD.. Think strongly along these things. I am caught up now. Don't get caught up!
