Me? I just need to remove myself. Instead of opening my mouth and sticking my foot in it (which seems to be the norm lately), I just need to be absent for a while. So, ummm, you go take that break.

Stop writing and stop commenting, those that are left after that are worth keeping. Contrary to what they all say, bloggers don't actually care that much.<BR/><BR/>2) Love each other by not feeling pressure to "do stuff" to remind each other of it. If I'm reading between the lines correctly the honeymoon period is drawing to a close. You've got something worth keeping there - enjoy it when you have time to later on, and it'll have proved its worth.<BR/><BR/>3) Get your real friends told that you've got a dissertation to write and be strong in the face of "oh but you need a break" replies. Finish the thesis then go on the holidays - this is also useful for distinguishing proper friends from rubbish ones (see point (1)).<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps you manage the stress, I'll go and pontificate somewhere else now...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and yes - have some serenity vibes! :-)Anthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303340501621622951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-38412919071413832592009-01-19T20:52:00.000-08:002009-01-19T20:52:00.000-08:00While I know grad students "get" each other....I c...While I know grad students "get" each other....I can't see how it works.
