So, you know what it's like. After the exams of your final, got your PhD place. You met up with your supervisor, very enthusiastic. He gave you a reading list for the summer, great, something to do. Once you got home, yeah, I will read them later. After 3 months, you realise you have read absolutely nothing. You are going to start your PhD next week, have to see your supervisor again. Gosh, how am I supposed to read 5 books in a week?
Now, you wonder, why was I so enthusiastic? Do I even want to start? What am I supposed to do?
