Yes, been there and potentially there again next year. I had to consistently apply for small grants to keep their research going and my wonderful student also applied for some small internal pots. It was exhausting but fruitful in the end.

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

Itโs lovely! I like the different leaf types. If it helps, I also spend silly money on plants but they are totally worth it. ๐
