Here's another reason to be cheerful:
Most Online Today: 635. Most Online Ever: 635 (Today at 03:52:29 PM)

I don't think we've ever had so many people here before. Have we?  :notsure:

And I missed it!  :(
:therethere:
It was nice thinking that 635 people were here.  :sad sigh:

This is a cheerful thread.  Pretend that the bots attained consciousness, and they first thing they wanted to do is visit here.

I'm going to take a month off in March or April before applying for a Ph.D. program (4 very tough long years).

It'll fly by.

That's probably the worst aspect of it. :P So much to do and so little time. It's very stressful.

Take my advice and write up papers as you get new results, then publish them in reputable journals as you go along. Two advantages: it gives you priority on results and also makes the final writing up of the thesis a doddle. My PhD took three years, even with an appointment as lecturer while I was doing my research. Believe me, 3 years fly by very quickly.

Three months ago I bought an adorable wool skirt secondhand and it was too small for me. Today I'm wearing it to Christmas dinner
