Joyce, you are absolutely right! I never actually considered that option seriously unless one of my senior told me what you exactly did. Thanks Joyce!

Thanks jmf81!

I am in search of a very specific problem to define my topic in my chosen area. The other week I thought I knew the specific problem just to prove I was wrong later. It is becoming as much harder as much I thought would be easier! Seems like I am in no where..

Current Working hour: 10 hr/day

Ok..this is my second month of my PhD..I am planning to visit this forum very often (at least once a month) to share my experiences with you all. My current average working hours per day: 10 hours.

I started in March 04, 2008. This is my official starting date. My interest is Fluid Mechanics which is a very fundamental interest in Aerospace/Mechanical/Biomed Engineering/etc (I am intentionally not mentioning my department details, sorry for that, may be someday ;))..

Update: March 04 - April 15

The main progress is I have defined my research topic for the time being. I have also read few very important related journals and still searching for more. Unfortunately (or am I fortunate actually?) I did not find any work done on my topic "precisely"! But may be there are some works done out there and I have to find out!

Thank you mates for all your comments. I am now planning to get into "trouble" by the end of this year hopfully

Rosy I think I know what you are talking about..good point

mathsnerd, yes she is in Aerospace while I am in Aeronautics. This gives me a positive push towards marriage in the hope she would understand the pressure for obvious reason. But she always puts our relationship on top of everything while I find that extremely difficult for me. So you know why I am confused.

Ok folks, what you think about getting married while you are "sunk" in your PhD research? I am not sure what I should do. Sometimes I feel I may not give her enough time to be a "good husband". Sometimes I think I am so lifeless without having my GF by my side and I really want to marry her.
