Any idea how many fucking things the 1st and 2nd year Ph.D. students have to do? Coursework, conference, publications, quals, endless writing and re-writing of your own stuff until you hate it so much that you don't want to look at it again, ever.
This is what my task list looks like:
Paper #1: lots of rewriting and more research
Paper #2: less rewriting
Paper #3: lots of editions
Presentation #1: cutting 8 pages from an existing paper
Abstract #1: have not started
Abstract #2: have not started
Abstract #3: have not started
Abstract #4: have not started
Abstract #5: have not started
Abstract #6: have not started
Abstract #7: have not started
Abstract #8: have not started
Abstract #9: have not started
...
I'm so under the gun that I just want to eat ten bags of peanuts or twenty cream puffs. OMFG. Maybe I'm in the wrong business.
