  I am interviewing with the director of my first-choice PhD program today. They say they were "very impressed" with my application, and wanted me to come in to meet some people. Do you have any advice for me for when I meet the director?

  Is anyone out there an athlete as well as a grad student, and have a job?

  Keeping track of your sources for a research project: How do you do it? What tools do you use? Are you mostly paper- or computer-based?

  Im my opionion you'd count as an athlete.  Someone who's training for a specific purpose, not just general fitness.  This probably goes for people who aren't entering events, but just are dedicated to reaching particular goals and then setting new ones.

   

  I competed in a couple events where my goal was to finish, so I'm not extremely competative but I was getting in to shape.  This month my training for my next event has suffered because the full brunt of school and work happened to coincide.  However I'm thinking about next year and wating to make a couple more competative goals for triathlon events, and I got curious about others' experiences.

   

  Thanks for responding!
