Work

Work in grad school. Is like taking down a mountain. In total darkness, each day you go to work and with your hammer and chisel. You try to chip in. Bit by bit. To take down the mountain. In between the darkness there are flashes. Like matchstick flashes. Or brilliance. Things start moving and you start getting ideas.
It is in these moments that you try to push as much as you can. It is when you actually finish part of your work. Rest of the time is just fooling around, locating your mountain.
