• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal, a physics grad student who enjoys writing: for herself, or to help other people learn things. When I am done my degree, I'll finally be able to allow myself to start following my desire to write and tutor and spread my joy of understanding physics.

  • Two More Years is Too Many…

    There comes a time in the life of every graduate student when she or he realizes that another two years of graduate school cannot be endured.

    There also, surely, comes a time in the life of every graduate student when she or he searches the web for the real scoop on how to write a Ph.D. Dissertation.  This article seems to tell it like it really is, instead of the massively-exaggerated way we prospective doctorates see it.

    UPDATE (August 30, 2010): It’s two years later. I’m still not done. Rereading the article linked above is still amusing and inspiring, though.
