Copying Queen

July 25, 2007

I'm totally doing this!

Brian May, the lead guitarist from rock band Queen, is close to earning his doctorate in astrophysics -- more than 35 years after quitting his studies to become a rock star.

I was originally going to go straight through college, eye on the Ph.d, but I decided in Brazil to experience the business world and get my ph.d later. I still dream of that ph.d (I really like the ring of Dr. Schlegel, don't you?). 10 years ago I had no idea what I would study. That's an easily answered question today, I know I'm going to study Cognitive Science. Because the world, is so much more than we see.
