... as I successfully defended my thesis yesterday (Friday) and now no longer am a student, but can add the three letters Ph.D. behind my name

It has been an unbelievable last three days, with more stress than I had for my wedding day but all went very well and now I'm slowly winding down... even though I've only slept 18 of the past 96 hours, I currently am not feeling tired,,, too many things going through my mind to feel sleepy. Anyway, it is something that I had to get off my back... now I will finally have a bit more time for my fish... maybe I'll even be able to raise the 150 or so Angel fry that I have in a small plastic tank on the kitchen sink

Dr.Bonke it is... at least for now

I'm slowly getting used to the idea, although it still feels weird. Oh and mike, I'm now a Ph.D in Plant Molecular Biology, which doesn't mean that I know exactly how to grow plants, but only know what a plant is made off

PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper


ah, yet another version I've heard many in the past couple of months... one of the worst was one I saw in an episode of Friends, where Phoebe goes out with a "sexually challenged" stalker... you can imagine what the PHD stood for with him (down there)
