Sometimes, little parts of it are drudgery to even the best PG students. Stuff like repetitive experimentation can become mind numbing if its not done right. (Sorry for the delay, I just moved.)

Next I know they'll kick me out ;-) As for blogging, I think I may have come up with a little trick to boost my output. Get up early and write your draft, when you're still full of the ideas you mulled over during the night, in dreams. Then go back to it at night and edit, rewrite, publish. Of course, this works especially well for me because of the time difference: when I finally drop dead at night, the US is still in full swing (which is where I still get most of my readership from).

I thought if you got to the PG level you actually liked what you're doing, instead of feeling that if you didn't do that you were doomed to being a minimum wage lackey, like most college students feel. @hthth: That's one that'll be both easy and hard for me. Easy in that there's SOOOOO much material I can cover. Hard in that theres' SOOOOO much material I can cover. (Don't you hate those?) @Quantum: Really?!
