Alright guys .. here is a common problem for all PhDers. I will start my PhD in August and already thinking about this. Is there enough time to watch TV for a PhD student?!
Here is a little background. I used to be a crazy TV watchers, from Sports to Series, from Movies to Talk shows, you name it. During my master studies I almost gave up everything but Sports (go to Theaters for movies, no more at home). As for Sports, I used to be a season ticket holder for my NBA team, which means going to every home game, and obviously used to watch the rest of the games on TV. The other sport I used to watch is Football, once a week on average.
Now for the PhD, I plan to continue watching every football game once a week, and limit my basketball games to the toughest and the more popular ones ( let's say 1-2 a week)
The question is, is this reasonable for a normal PhD student?.. Knowing that there will be a heavy load of reading, is this TV schedule doable?.. keeping in mind some other regular activities such as going to the gym about three times a week, and the regular stuff like eating, sleeping, grocery ... etc.
I would love to read your opinions, especially from TV lovers who already faced this situation? .. Thanks in advance.
