My doctoral journey officially starts today. I read something amusing as part of this quarter’s research class.

Paraphrasing slightly: “Being a doctoral student is like becoming all of the Seven Dwarves. In the beginning you’re Dopey and Bashful. In the middle, you are usually sick (Sneezy), tired (Sleepy), and irritable (Grumpy). But at the end, they call you Doc, and then you’re Happy.”
