Doesn't feel much like a PhD. candidate

So its summer... and I get alittle down time usually. Not this summer where I am trying to trouble shoot a new HPLC method so I can finish up my research. It makes me laugh though at how many people think that I must have nothing to do in the summer so I must be off. Ha!

Sometimes I wonder how I will ever get through my program and get a job! Sometimes it seems insermountable. Just the other day my husband was talking about me and tenure= job security for life. Kind of comforting and scary all at the same time.

I know I can write, conduct research and teach but put it all together into a faculty appointment and you have one stressed PhD.!
