The Sad, Sad Life of Grad Student

Been working hard and really need a laugh. Some lifted of the net and some of my own. Sad to say but everyone is true!

You just might be a graduate student if...

• you've ever read a journal article in a bar.
• everything reminds you of something in your discipline.
• you've ever discussed theory at a party.
• you have ever spent over $50 on photocopying at one time.
• 'conceptual framework' is a phrase you use daily in conversation.
  
• professors don't really care when you turn in work anymore.
• you find the bibliographies of articles more interesting than the actual text.
• you have given up trying to keep your books organized and are now just trying to keep them all in the same general area.
• you have accepted guilt as an inherent feature of relaxation.
• you find yourself explaining to children that you are in "20th grade".
• you look forward to taking some time off to do laundry.
• you have more photocopy cards than credit cards.
• you feel priveleged to chose which 20 hours out of the day you work.
• you can identify universities by their internet domains.
• you understand jokes about Foucault.
• the concept of free time scares you.
• you've checked out a library when away on holidays.
  
• you find yourself citing sources in conversation.
