I drew this on a white board at my last school, in 2013. Nine years later and I slayed the dragon. |
The first post on this blog was almost ten years ago, while I was a grad student. Inspired by some of my classes and books I was reading, I had some crazy ideas mixing science and fiction and wanted to post them somewhere. The most famous of those crazy ideas was about the Berenst#in Bears, which is now a meme far beyond my mere tiny blog.
Ten years ago I was a graduate student. One week ago, I was a graduate student. In fact, I started graduate school in 2010, meaning I have been pursuing a PhD for for twelve years (eleven not counting my year teaching high school).
I have been twelve years a grad student.
I figured, given the momentousness of the situation, I would reflect on this overlong time.
