Summer as a Grad Student

Another summer has arrived. For most students it is time to enjoy, go on backpacking trips through Europe, have a wild time.

But for us graduate students it just means that we have to work at a higher rate. No courses are taken during summer, and hence we the only thing you end up doing is research. The amount of work goes up. It is good, for during the semesters we have to attend talks, go to courses, and do a lot of stuff except research. Summer gives us a time to do active research.

See the graduate student in me comes to fore. I still cant think of doing anything in the summer except research. I started this blog blaming the system. But the fact is that as a graduate student I enjoy summer more not for the good weather, or for the excursions. I enjoy it because it gives me a greater chance to do good research.

The curse of being a grad student.
