Hopefully that helps readers to judge the information below.) Grad students constantly talk about how much they work. It’s a badge of honor to explain how terrible life is. Even I have gotten a little mopey about things lately. I apologize. This post attempts to put some numbers to the amount of work one specific PhD student did. My purpose is not to brag, neither about how much nor how little I worked, but simply explain how the time I put in.
