They're keeping me sane and semi-distracted (as D will tell you; I have only a 6% chance of self-defenestration. No stats on self-implosion though.)<BR/><BR/>AW, the combination of stress and the onset of my period is making me turn to a very strange combination of fats, salts and chocolates; basically I've told the diet to go fuck itself and we'll see how much weight I put on before MLA. <BR/><BR/>Kermit: the printer is a Brother All-in-one and any grad student with a few hundred dollars to spare (or get as loans) should get it because it is awesome! I can photocopy things, including stuff for teaching, at home, and I can scan stuff in (I, ahem, "acquired" Photoshop a while back so I can store pics, make cool powerpoint slides, and save diss materials)... oh and I could fax too, if I had a fax line. But really, it's great having access to this in your own place and it was about $600 a few years ago; it's a worthwhile investment for grad school. I love that thing.<BR/><BR/>Maude, you can do it! If you only get a couple pages squeezed out before MLA, that's still some crap you won't have to frantically write afterwards, eh?Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-57558176203309513122007-12-11T18:16:00.000-08:002007-12-11T18:16:00.000-08:00You have a tuxedo cat!

Listen, just address the stress and know that you're not going to hear anything until the various committees get past their finals, grades submissions and holiday revels.<BR/><BR/>No, of course they don't know you're angsty. They think it's all normal and lovely out there in grad land.<BR/><BR/>Twits.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849272391043604637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-68800945457779726222007-12-11T12:44:00.000-08:002007-12-11T12:44:00.000-08:0094% of the people who go crazy from stress and jum...94% of the people who go crazy from stress and jump out of grad school through the window?
