"I'm sorry I thought today was Wednesday"

Two things are synonymous with graduate school: stress, and unhealthy habits. 

To illustrate this concept I have 3 papers and a presentation due in less than 48 hours, and an IRB application that must be finished by tomorrow.  Instead of working on them I am writing a blog while eating some cheesecake that I found in the adjacent office.  Grad school renders common sense and willpower obsolete in the face of impending deadlines.  In grad school regularlly sleeping less than 5 or 6 hours a night is not uncommon.  Thankfully, my peers and I are not in a program like nursing or vet school where sleeping less than 5 or 6 hours a night is the norm.
