You know you’re a dissertating grad student when . . .

it’s about a month from the end of the semester and students writing term papers begin recalling all of “your” library books.  By “your” books I mean the library books that you’ve dutifully accrued over the past year and have either been using or meaning to use.  Normally it’s not a problem to return them (once you’ve gotten over your possessiveness), but just now we don’t need email showing up to threaten us with fines if we don’t get a book returned in the next few days!

    It’s funny, in my case, you can tell I’m working on my dissertation since I’m pondering requesting books from the library (for the ~2nd time) rather than relying exclusively on journal articles…
