I’m sure I’ve said it here before, but one thing that is definitely true about doctoral programs is that they make it nearly impossible to keep up with your non-academically preoccupied friends. New friendships form, forged in the fires of literature reviews and difficult classes, and as a result you see more of these coursework-comrades [...]

One of the benefits of never having a free moment to write a blog post is that the thoughts you have that you want to blog about have plenty of time to percolate until they become a full-on rant. Like this one. I must have composed this post ten times this week in my head, and [...]

I suppose that phrase should conjure up fear in my heart, but since I don’t actually have much money to spend on Christmas gifts, it looks like another homemade/handmade giftstravaganza.

Of course, I knew she would be, because everything about her is great, but especially her creative use of the English language. It’s so nice to check in with her once and awhile and see what’s [...]
