reviving my rusty blog.
I keep doing this every year: promising myself that I would consistently write. Actually, writing a blog is a good exercise to revive my dissertation writing spirit. OK, now I'm done defending my dissertation, and in the process of revising it before submitting the thing to the Graduate School. But - oh, I'm so tired looking at it. A friend of mine called it a 'post-dissertation syndrome,' in which I just want to celebrate and enjoy my days. Hmm... I think with or without the syndrome, I always want to enjoy my days! He he. Lately, I have been addicted to the Piled Higher and Deeper PhD Comics by Jorge Cham ( www.phdcomics.com ). They're really funny to me -- I can relate to most of the characters' experiences... I think it's a brilliant comic strip (at the same time, it makes me feel good about myself... he he... as usual... finding justification of what I'm doing and where I stand.)
In the midst of (major-) revising a co-authored paper for publication (ouch...) and my own dissertation... it's like a refreshing oasis! :) Thanks Jorge Cham, whoever/wherever you are! :) (and thanks to Tyas, who introduced me to this comic strip)
