Abstract
I had quite a few doubts whether my PhD project will have a happy ending for about two years. I think that this perception is common to many PhD students: the enthusiasm drops steadily in the beginning, when all the individual smaller and bigger problems appear and hinder apparently any progress. But sooner or later most of the PhD students get the project going and even start to enjoy their work again!
