When I checked my blog's SiteMeter, I noticed that a surprisingly large number of people were lead to my blog by googling for "phd fun". For them I have a few words:
First of all, do *not* put "phd" and "fun" in the same search query. PhD is anything *but* fun.
Second, if you ask someone whether PhD is fun and he/she answers "yes" or "no", that person must have not done a PhD. A real answer should start with something like "well..."
Oh, by the way, I just submitted my dissertation and my PhD years are officially over.
Jokes aside, getting a PhD is a unique experience. It is so unique that I believe even if I had a second chance, I would end up choosing to do it anyway. As far as I know, a person who finishes a PhD usually has a big ego, is a little idealistic and definitely lazy. I would end up doing a PhD because of my personalities.
So I say to myself: stop whining and life goes on. :)
