Graduate Anecdotes

Khouray provides the following anecdote about her very excellent advisor,

Getting a Ph.D. is kind of like getting jumped into a gang. It isn't the smartest or even the toughest who make it. It is those who can take the beating without giving up or swinging back.

An anonymous person, (quite possibly my advisor) commented: "[This] is almost right, except for time: it takes so. much. time. to do this."

One can build up excellent restraint stamina in preparation for a long 'healthy' career.

For the record, I love my advisor.
