My dissertation is meaningless.

When a student sneaks up on you right after office hours have formally ended.... #academicswithcats

Waiting for the inevitable "what's my grade?" conversations. #academicswithcats #gradschoolproblems #yesthisisdog

Nope, things don't look better from this vantage point either. Things still seem upside down. #academicswithcats

I don't care if it's the first week of the semester. You should be writing. #gradschoolproblems #academicswithcats

Dirty laundry is preferable to your "theory chapter," human. #academicswithcats #gradschoolproblems
