I've got some bad news for you southernbitch...at least in my experience the only thing that gets you through a PhD program is an unhealthy drinking habit!

Hey Everyone! I don't comment here very much but have been reading for a long time, and I feel like I know most of you. Reading videogum and the comments has helped me get through grad school and helps me get through the day at my current job with a bunch of serious, not very talkative people. I really enjoy reading about everyone's day and I told myself I'd comment the next time it came up. Today has been a fairly good day. I had a baby about a month ago, and it's been very hard so far. I knew about the lack of sleep, but was really unprepared for the constant demands for food and how badly each feeding would go, and I didn't realize I would miss working and thinking about serious things as much as I have, and all of that has led to a lot of strong emotions and a lot of guilt. But within the last week it feels like things are finally starting to click. The baby even went through a growth spurt this week, which was something I'd heard about and was very nervous to experience. But today it looks like we've made it through to the other side, and we are finally starting to get into a rhythm.

That's my hometown. Seriously, every single day for the past month or so, someone in my facebook feed posts about going to this place and how either good or bad it is and how long the line is. Is there seriously nothing better going on in Dallas right now?

This was exactly what I thought about last night too! I even made the same annoying girly squee that I made the first time Logan and Veronica kissed!
