The sound of applause

I have been struggling with the PhD thesis. I have been having difficulties in putting myself down to the writing mode.

Today, I had some exciting ideas about the research when I was on the way to the college. Thinking through the journey, I started to write them down on my notebook as soon as I got a table and a chair at the college.

One hour later, I wrote down the main ideas and took a break. Looking around me, there was a graduation ceremony taking place in the Great Hall. Sounds of people cheering and clapping were non-stopping. I listened to the sound with my heart. I really enjoyed listening to these sounds...

'I want to graduate, too.' I said to myself.

Encouraged by such stimulating and positive sounds, I determine to finish this thesis to get my applause in the graduation ceremony!
