Revelation in the morning: P.H.D

Yes, it's 6:19 am and I am still awake. I know dad how much you want me to go back living like normal people, i.e. sleeping at night and waking up in the morning, but I can't help it. Some days I just start seriously working late and I end up staying all through the night. At least I am getting work done.

However, I also have another explanation for this weird system. And, oddly enough, this explanation does not even come from our language or our culture. It comes from Urdu. My Pakistani flatmate told me today, I mean yesterday, what do they say P h D means in Urdu:

P h D = Phira Huwa Deemagh
........=twisted (be) mind :)

So, being a PhD student I am officially declared to have a twisted mind :) This explains a lot, doesn't it? And isn't it nice to have this kind of revelation at this point of my work? And isn't it nicer to tell you about it at 6:19 am?

Ah well, I'll go now and try to rest my twisted mind for a while. Good night, .. mm I mean good morning, ...mm.. forget it, I'm just going.

Mai
