venom is blogging: Grad School

Saturday, May 30, 2009

Grad School is self-inflicted punishment for those of us who can't make it in the real world.

This was my realization a couple of months back.

M said...: What if we can't make it in either world? I've been looking over our budget and am slightly depressed and rather worried. :-); 30 May, 2009 14:06

Lily said...: Crud, I forgot to message you sooner! Again, best of luck defending your thesis tomorrow (or, in bocca al lupo, as the italiani say)!!

I'll try to make it to lunch tomorrow, but lately Jane's been sleeping until about 1, so I may not make it. Would you and Gretchen still be willing to swing by afterward?

I'll hold your dirty laundry hostage until you do. We'll be in touch!

P.S. the self-inflicted punishment bit is so (painfully) true. But then I have to wonder, is not making it in the real world a crime fit for such punishment? Seriously.; 05 June, 2009 01:46
