More thoughts on the PhD

So, it's late January, 2007. I've made some progress -- a couple of papers, none are Journal quality. I have a good work plan with my advisor for the next 4 months.

What have I learned? I can't work on the PhD part-time! I guess for most people that is a given -- it is too obvious. I thought I could eek out a PhD a little at a time. Bart gave me good advice a year ago: Sell your house, move to an apartment close to campus, focus on finishing the PhD.

Now, I put my house up for sale and am planning to live in Israel for a few months while I work on something hard and interesting. Maybe even the thesis topic will come out of it.

Very bold move! The worst

Very bold move! The worst part about selling the house is deciding what to do with everything inside it. So, if you want to give me all your musical equipment, I accept.
