Back to work!

The vacation has come to an end too soon. So, back to earth and back to work. Re-search! Searching for the best way to put up a telescope or a lidar reciever to be precise. Finally today I thought I drafted up the perfect sketch of the set up, and was dreaming of getting down to the lab and starting hands-on work! So I went up to my supervisor feeling like the man of the moment, to update him on my findings. but just leave it to him to point out a reason why it wouldn't work!!%$@^(@?!!

Ok, so back to the desk trying to figure that out! And spend the rest of the day (or week for that matter) scrutinizing the library database, reading through "greek" research articles and Googling the entire internet trying to find the perfect solution for that problem, and when the solution is finally figured out, the whole process of why it doesn't work that way starts again. aaaah!!!

There's a nice site, quite popular among my research group, with a huge collection of comics concerning phd students.

But a word of advice to those of you who are considering doing a PhD in the future; Better leave the site un-visited.
