Yesterday at curling, a national (curling) champion asked me this simple question:, "How is school?" Noting my apparent dismay (which was actually due to my inability to converse with a normal human being), he followed up with, "Wait. Let me change that. How is your soul-crushing research experience?" In addition to being a top-rate curler, he also happens to have a PhD in mathematics.
I laughed and gave him a sheepish look as he walked--and then slid-- away. Actually, grad school is great at the mo'. I don't know if I will say the same in a few years when I'll wish I had worked harder right now, but... it's probably good to chill out for a few days... months... quarters?
