wake up call

There was a post on another board that I frequent asking "What have you accomplished so far this year" now that it's almost halfway over? And you know what? I don't know. I finished my third year of this Ph.D. program. I've started the process of putting my finances together. I opened a high-yield savings account which is a BIG step in this process. I negotiated lower interest rate on my credit cards. Hopefully I can put one of those bills to bed before the summer is out. I presented my first "talk" at a conference. I'm named as first author on a chapter that's being published in a book. OK, I see tons of professional stuff, but what about me personally? What have I accomplished? Hell if I know.... And this bothers me.
