Three laws of graduation

Jorge Cham forged the following three laws of graduation, ala Newton:

FIRST LAW
A graduate student in procrastination tends to stay in procrastination unless an external force is applied to it.

SECOND LAW
The age, a, of a doctoral process is directly proportional to the flexibility, f, given by the advisor and inversely proportional to the student's motivation, m.

Mathematically, this is a = f/m or f = m a

THIRD LAW
For every action towards graduation, there is an equal and opposite distraction.

Just follow the link to the actual comic -- Boy, this guy's a genius! :)
