Swinging from tree to tree

... and then the limb snaps.
Just the one you were holding onto...

And then while you lie on the ground looking up,
It decided to fall right atop of you too...

doesnt life always like to kick you when you are down? or does it just feel that way?
Well, all for all, through the ups and downs, through the highs and lows, it is an awesome experience....one heck of a roller coaster ride (it feels like i am plagiarising here although i swear I am not)

To make it short, i have no mind to do the doctoral research I signed up for , atleast not right now, and am suffering from a major dose of "PROCRASTINATION" in my post-quals period.
Is this what serious research and all that "advancement of the knowledge base of mankind" is all about or do most people settl by just "Swinging it" ????

Jet, Set, gotta go
