Should I Really Be in a Ph. D. program?

So I was walking across campus today after a few errands, and I thought I’d turn back on Marche Slave, by Tchaikovsky.

I hit play and nothing happens. There is no sound. I check the track and it’s counting down, so I know it’s playing. There is the little triangle up in the left hand corner, and not the two pause bars. I check the volume, and it’s turned up. I crank it more, just in case we’re at a slow place in the song.

Nothing.

It was then I realized I was holding the ipod in my left hand, and the headphones in my right.

I guess as long as I don’t have to work an iPod in any of my comprehensive exams, I’ll be ok.
