Return to Student Life

- I have not made a single meal for myself this entire week, save for my signature dish, "cereal and milk." The start of the quarter, especially fall quarter, is THE time to scam free food. Three student mixers, two lunch lectures, and a workshop on how to write an effective resume later, I may have actually gained weight this week. Does the Freshman 15 apply to grad school?

- Because I'm a grown-up grad student, I'm making an effort to un-schlub my daily ensembles. This has included a number of dress & tights combos. I stopped in the ladies' room after a meeting with my preceptor and yes, pulled a classic tuck-the-dress-in-the-tights move. The wacky-aunt-like department secretary, bless her, was also in the restroom and caught me before I sabotaged my entire academic career in Week 1. I've been avoiding her since because, well, she saw my butt and that is weird.

- I find myself flirting with undergraduates for no other reason than they think I'm 19, too.
