Grad school is really an endurance test...

[onefixedstar]

I haven't made it home before 10:00pm once this week. 11:00 or 12:00 is the new norm. I'm down to one meal a day because that's all I have time to shop or cook for, and that's sometimes a stretch. I'm getting a reasonable amount of sleep, but that's only because I'm still catching up from last week's sleep deprivation and can't function on fewer than seven hours. I now live on SAS code and course assignments.

This isn't intended so much as a whine as an apology: if you haven't heard from me lately (here or in other forums), it's because I've been busy. I'll try to update people when I can.

Hang in there; at some point we'll gather and help you unwind, if such a thing is truly possible in grad school.

I'm hanging in. I don't expect to have time to unwind until June, but I'm hanging in. It's marginally better now--at least I have time to eat again. :)

That's good; I've heard that eating is part of a balanced diet. Sometime then I'll bring you out for dinner to assist in this crazy eating thing you speak of, ne?

Of course, the fact that you've spent so much time doing two graduate degrees at once probably hasn't helped...

Anyway, hang in there!

No, the two degrees definitely doesn't help, but it will get better. How are you doing?

Sounds like you're just keeping your nose above water now. Shout if you need a lifeline. Good luck.
