Saying Goodbye

It started on Monday night, May 21, 2007 and it will finally all be over tonight, Tuesday, May 29, 2012. A mere five years after I began, but so much has changed! People come and go, people graduate, get jobs, have kids, get blackmailed, held up, and thrown down flights of stairs. Even when my own life was pretty grim, I could always take comfort in the fact that I didn't witness a huge car explosion and find out six years later that it was just so someone I loved could go into witness protection. 

I've laughed, I've laughed at them crying, I've laughed at their serious conversations and now I'm finally sad to see them go. Oh Beverly Hills, 90210! I've watched your 10 seasons over 5 years and I wish I had another 10 seasons to go. I've had epic amounts of fun and to be fully honest, I've already watched a few episodes of "Melrose Place" and am pretty sure that will be an ok substitute once you are gone. It is an end of an era of terrible, terrible awesomeness. Goodbye and thank you!

Odd, how this blog

could be mistaken

for a talk

about the end of school

It's all about the lists

All morning, pre-coffee, I was thinking about how graduate students are a lot like cats. Enough so, that I started a list in my brain. The list looks like this:

How Grad Students and Kitties Are Alike
1. They both sleep as soon as they stop moving, due to being permanently tired.
2. They both would rather be outside running around instead of stuck inside again being bored.
3. They both get cranky when you poke them.
4. They are both very aware when the espresso machine is hissing.
5. They both bite when annoyed.
6. They are both amused by incredibly bizarre things, which has links to number 1.
7. You need to watch out for all the pointy bits when messing with them.

It was a pretty good list, considering I was pre-coffee and bitey. And that is why I'm having coffee round #2 on my lunch break.
