		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and counting. At this instant, life is good. In the last year of my existence, I feel that quite a few things have improved. I am closer to graduation than ever. Financial worries exist, but are more manageable. MAD and I are still happy being with each other. Hope this year I will get [...]]]></description>

		<title>General Exam is Done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I passed my general exam last week. It went amazingly well. QoH had my back all the way and put up a good offensive in the closed door sessions. It feels good to have a couple of days where you don&#8217;t get up with a to-do list that is long and everything on it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>One more chapter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[QoH took a brief look at the proposal and thinks that I need one more chapter that ties all the work I have done into a cohesive and compelling story. He is right about it, but it so much work. These 15 pages are going to take me a couple of weeks if not more. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thesis Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of chapter 1 is done. Trying to figure out what all the work you did over the last 8 years is a lot more difficult than one would assume. The hard part is not assimilating it into a massive document, but to figure out what exactly did you contribute to the advancement of science [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lethargy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[280 pages of half baked dissertation text beckon, nah&#8230; demand, my attention. Most of it is in a semi-decent form, and realistically it needs about 2 weeks of hard work to get into shape. Considering I am just submitting it for a general exam, it is probably a *lot* less work. Not sure why I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opportunity Cost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been wondering about the pros and cons of grad school education in general, and Ph.D. in particular. One thing that most people do not talk about is the opportunity cost of the decision to go to school for 7 more years (2 Masters + 5 Ph.D). Exactly how much does one loose in [...]]]></description>
