Weariness
I am tired in my bones. I don't know if I am cut out for the life of a graduate student for one reason: evening shift. For all intents and purposes, I have a second shift job right now. My classes are all at night, my tutoring shifts are at night. Each day I work different hours...it's exhausting. I know, cry me a river. But it's my forum and I'm tired. Why are graduate classes at night? Why can't I be in bed by 9pm instead of just finishing up a tutoring session and having to wait for a bus? What will happen to me when I start having rugby practice in the evenings? Then I won't have one single evening where I am home before 9pm. Ever. I guess I should think back to Malcolm Gladwell and start conditioning myself that evening is ok. Just roll with it. But when will I cook with butter and Julia Child if I'm learning and doing things all night long?? All I want to do right now is eat chocolate chips and watch Sopranos reruns.

oh katy.
this makes me worry a little about grad school.
Awesome article, but what about that reminded you of me? Was it the throwing up on the craps table?
