1. Life as a grad student

    … is not as fun as I thought it would be. It’s always work, work, work - 9 to 5. 

    The last two weeks: I was busy finishing up experiments because the whole lab will be moving to the new building.

    Last week: Moving a whole lot of stuff from the old 70s lab to a new funky one. Thus this was how my old bench looked like after packing:

    I must say that it looked much more organized than for the past 2 years that I’ve been working on this bench. 

    I guess if your working place is a mess, it reflects your own state of mind (which probably is a mess) and most likely, your iman is not in a good shape either. That’s why there’s a hadith saying, “Cleanliness is half of iman.” A reflection for NOT messing the brand new bench in the funky new building. 

    PhD conference is coming up in a week’s time. Du’as are welcome! :D
