Question: Do you ever get bored with what you do ?

You have to work on one project 10 hours a day 5-6 days a week for 4 years, yes you get bored of it sometimes but that is often because you are not thinking about it in the right way. Speaking with people like you reminds me why what i do is important and interesting. New things are more exciting and i have been lucky to choose new projects during my 4 years at Bristol but unless you complete a project or an area of research you can’t really move on, even if you are sick of the sight of it!
