Literary Comedy

I am a little short on time this wonderful Friday morning, so I must keep it brief. I have so many great post ideas coming your way (time permitting), but for right now I thought I would check in and offer a little PhD comedy in place of a traditional Cocktail Tidbit. It has been a very interesting, stressful, and fun week. I got to know some of my fellow grads a little better, I had some interesting new discussions about my dissertation, and I learned a lot about teaching new material this week. I also realized, thanks to some conversations with friends who read this blog, that I am not always good on keeping my blog promises  - I haven't even mentioned how the Midnight's Children Book Club went. So now that I am aware, I have a new system, and I promise I will blog about it (how could I not? It was awesome!). Anyway, I stumbled on this gem of a website recently while researching helpful grad student resources, and this particular strip reminded me very much of a conversation I had recently with my mother.

I also picked this up from a friend of mine - it warmed my heart a little :)
