Art Imitating Life
A few weeks ago, I was reminded of the existence of PhD comics by my cousin, who is currently doing graduate work in sociology at UT Austin. The link to the comic is still down there on my list, but sadly I gave up regularly reading comics about a year ago. It was sort of odd to read PhD again and realize that I hadn't visited since I started at Baylor. It was even more odd (and frightening, and depressing, and etc.) to stumble across a few scenes stolen directly from my life as I trolled through the archive. Check it out:
Oh, magical time management skills, why do you continue to elude me? (Let the snarky shots at the timestamp on this post begin.)

Posted by: Wilson at December 2, 2008 08:07 AMYeah . . . Funny story: Turns out I have LESS time to indulge in webcomics while in grad school, rather than MORE. Wild.
Oh, and Sharpton . . . I have 2 scheduled things to do a week: Sitting in class from 4pm to 7pm on Monday and on Wednesday. What's my motivation to preserve normal sleep hours?
Next semester will hopefully be better. I'll have class every day . . . 1:30-2:25 MWF & 3:30-6:30 TR.

At any given moment in the life of a normal observer, the graduate student cannot be observed to be doing any work at all. Just read PhD in that normal temporal plane.
