Because Quantum Field Theory is the hardest stuff you can do. Ever.
Because Theoretical Physics expects you to know how to do contour integration. Which I’ve never even looked at.
Because Particle Physics is only easy when compared to Theoretical Physics.
Because I’ve written 12,000 words on my thesis, and need to kick it up to 15,000. And include a LOT more references.
Because I’ve been trying, and failed, to get a PhD offer. Don’t get me started…
Because I’m now desperately searching for something to do next year, even though I really need to get back to reading Russell’s attack on Causation…
Because, if I’m lucky, I might finally get some guitar lessons next week…
Because I had to cox a boat with a broken rudder line in Torpids. That was fun. Come to Summer Eights!

That sounds and is laid out like the beginning of a poem.
