Bridge to the Doctorate Seminar - 2013 Cohort


Being a graduate student is like becoming all of the Seven Dwarves.
In the beginning, you’re Dopey and Bashful.
In the middle, you are usually sick (Sneezy), tired (Sleepy), and irritable (Grumpy).
But at the end, they call you Doc, and then you’re Happy.

(Ronald Azuma)
