Enjoyment

I have to confess, on the whole I really enjoy my PhD. I was just on the PhD forum and so many people are sad or stressed and worried about their work. I am too sometimes, such is the nature of life, but on the whole I really love it. I love days like today when my work is very organised, I have the next week planned out, I am reading material I am interested in and makes you think immediately (rather than more empirical articles just for data/information) because it is philosophy, the sun is shining (a bit) and generally I feel quite content and very lucky to be doing this course. I hope other people do too. Is it possible to get a PhD and be more content doing it than not? Or is there inevitably going to be a point when I want to give up? I know the last few months before submission will be hard and stressful but that is parr for the course really. Can anyone actually enjoy doing a PhD, and get one?!

Hmmm.

Ps: plumber was meant to be here at 8.30am, a time I rarely see these days for my sanity and the wellbeing of anyone around me, and he is still. not. here. *GROSS-OUT ALERT*: And yesterday he did a smelly in my loo and didn't tidy up after himself. RANK :-((( Being British through and through though, I noticed, said nothing and cleaned up after him when he went. Ug I am disgusted at myself. But he was such a nice boy... what should I have done?! (I would seriously love some advice!) x
