All six readers, I now make my first post in a while.

Running this blog has made me realize that life as a graduate student is phenomenally boring. Ever since classes set back in, I came to the realization that classes after your first year of grad school are more inconvenient than helpful. I have hardly any time to do research. I have to grade labs, which is both time-consuming and depressing. I basically want this semester to end so I can hurry up and get onto full research with no teaching.

On the plus side, I’m broadening my discussion in this blog to other aspects of my personal life. You are free to start snickering now. But this means I can talk about aikido, political idiocy, and my neverending fascination with the culture of Long Island. As a bonus, I might even share my mad dating tips for physicists.
