Being on the other side of grad-student-dom is odd. They are cranky, caffeinated, up late, up early, dirty lots of dishes, have books strewn from door to couch, and are always on the computer working on research and papers. As Chris is showering right now, the computer is free for about five blissful minutes. I don't remember being that cranky when I was in school, but then that was a few years ago.
I think about life with a grad student as I follow paper trails through the Hobbit Hole. I've been thinking about going back to school (I am such a junkie!) for music or library science in 2009 or so, but I don't know if our one useful computer could take it. A good side of life with a grad student is that there is ALWAYS coffee ready (I do remember that). As the shower has stopped and the sweet smell of my favorite percolated drugs wafts to my nostrils, I think my computer turn is over. Wafts is a good word and if I spelled it wrong, then wafts still is a good word.
