I feel like its not. As I sit here at my desk prioritizing my work load and feeling like I am not accomplishing anything! I feel like graduate school is an exercise in perservearence.
Lately, I haven't felt productive despite being busy or all that enlightened despite being able to teach lab/lecture.
Time is passing, yes but sometimes I feel stuck in the vaccumm of grad school life. Where it is easy to come in everyday and yet accomplish very little.
I am not saying I am a slacker by any means but I feel like the days are filled up with meetings, class obligations and TA grading etc. how can I ever have time to focus on my research?
When I was teaching I found the balance of research/teaching a challenge and always felt busy BUT I was in control of my schedule.
When I am a TA all that goes out the window and thus I am feeling frustrated!
I hope that after I finish my PhD. I will still be able to feel productive and be able to accomplish my work without feeling like I am losing control of the day!
Gah, it can be so frustrating!
