>>12707419honestly i have a PhD and compared to some of my peers (especially some cond. mat. theorists) i feel ashamed that my attention span is so small. these guys can hunker down on a textbook and master it in what i assume is 3 days of 14 hours per day. i assume that is what they must do because it takes me like 14 days of 3 hours a day but somehow they do it in 3 days. i just need to have a life too, but some people are just machines
