I discovered the Indigo Girls doing "Closer to Fine" via Aspiring Academic ,who then led me to listening to this hilarious academic version of the said song at Ph.D comics. I can't say how much that song resonates: "it's only research after all ...my thesis took my posture and shrank it...we don't even workout" but finally it is sad to hear.
And when I'm done with this program, then what? Who knows where I will move? Who knows where I will move? Do I even welcome moving? I can finally place some happy, happy moments in this city -- this life (or lack thereof) -- this year. But moving again and again is a post that I'll keep returning too, no doubt.
One of my best friends decided to move to the city this summer, which means we might move in together, if all goes well. But then Psych girl, my study-at-cafes partner in academia, got a job elsewhere, so she'll be here up until she finishes her dissertation in the summer -- and then who knows? I keep losing friendships here.
