Comments for PhD What http://phdwhat.net A journey through the roots of academia Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:52:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on 2.4 The Search for Happiness by J. http://phdwhat.net/the-search-for-happiness/comment-page-1/#comment-4444 J. Sun, 10 Jan 2010 10:57:24 +0000 http://phdwhat.net/?p=90#comment-4444 Hey Thanks for this post... i have been wondering about whether I have made the right choice to pursue a PhD part-time (while being a full-time teacher) and the question of happiness (now or in the future) is very very important...it maybe hard, strenuous, tiring, but in the end, it is all about whether or not you think it will bring you happiness. Surely one could be doing other things, but it is all about the inner self. Thanks again. J. Hey

Anyway, I can't wait for the next post. Who needs Harry Potter when real life is much more interesting?

I bet that although we have the impression that the Greek heroes were spending all of their time on mortal discussions in public fora, spiced with a bit of homoerotic activities, most of the time they were just hanging out and chatting up big shots for continued funding.
