1. Write papers + do Research
2. Advance to Candidacy [Timeline: Within 1years]
   1. 5 Professor Committee [3 Physics, 2 outside Physics]
   2. Focus on  the work for the Thesis.
   3. Give ~50min lecture length talk about what Project and larger implications.
3. Write & Defend Thesis [Timeline: Within 2years]
   1. This is going to be trouble.

I was able to fix it, by making a link:

cd $HOME
sudo ln -s $HOME/.Private $HOME/Private

With this fix, if I ssh in it seemed to fix the automatic mount, even without other sessions logged into the system.

EDIT:  This does not seem to fix the situation after a reboot.  I think it has to do with permissions of something, but still looking into it.  After sudoing a command, it seems future ssh attempts mount the ecrypted home.

   1. Not even thinking about this one,   yet…

Seems almost too easy to get a PhD…  I am only kidding.    Here we go…

I lived there 3x years just an hour from the base so I just stayed at home, but the base is lined with hotels/inns of all types.

It’s a straight forward trail up to the top, but make no mistake, it’s 6 hours of stair stepping and the final hour gets pretty steep. Then you have to come down and I consider the knee jarring down just as bad as the bun burning up. Try to be at least semi in shape, it’ll make the experience a heck of a lot better.

A nice experience is to get there around 8-9pm and start your ascent about 10pm. The trail is blazenly obvious so ddon’t worry about losing your way at night. All the way up you get grreat night views of Tokyo and Yokohama. You get to the top about 4am, theres a hut at the top you can get outragiously priced coffee, tea, ramen, and then around 4:30 to 5am you get an amazing sunrise over the pacific ocean. Take your pictures, enjoy the moment and the view, and begin the trek down.

Also, buy a wooden walking staff at the base. It’s very nice to use, but more so – every rest camp the entire treck up has an attendent who will burn in the altitude and camp name in kanji to the staff. It makes an awesome conversation piece when you get home. (I cut my staff in half to get it home)

Fair warning – Even in the dead of summer when it’s blazingly hot and humid when you start, it’s well below freezing at the top. A light jacket won’t cut it. You’re warm while you’re working out climbing, but take a break for 5 min and the shivers set in.

Is it worth it? Hell ya. How many people can say they’ve been to Japan? How many of them can say they’ve climbed Mt. Fuji also? It’s just a priceless experience.

“A wise man climbs Mt. Fuji once, a fool twice.” – Traditional folk saying.
