Trying to feed myself with confusing euro appliances now that I'm officially abroad for the quarter

#also I don't know what the oven symbols mean #also I don't know how celsius works #euro appliances #quarter abroad #grad school #academia #studying abroad

Dreading sending the "oh, remember how I was supposed to be done with this reading list by the end of summer? well..." email...considering just sending this gif in my stead.

#i fucked up #grad student fail #in my defense I had to work an actual job #grad school #academia #reading lists

When someone inquires about my reading list...

#terror vortex of books #my german reading is slow #reading list #reading lists #grad school #academia #grad school problems

What I look like reading those horribly misguided "I don't need feminism because..." posts

#when people don't learn the meaning of words we all suffer #grad school #academia #feminism #yesallwomen

Second year of PhD program = put on thirty pounds. I think I mostly have lack of proper sleep schedule, campus convenience store meals, and only taco bell being open at 11pm when I finally realize I need to eat to thank

#all the green shit #all the jogging #I will have healthy poops #grad school #academia #grad student diet

Coming to terms about the true number of books my advisor will ask me to read before letting my reading list be "complete"...

#infinity books #infinity reading #forever reading #reading list #grad school #comps #comprehensive ecxams #academia

How my advisor responds whenever I e-mail him a potentially unorthodox plan for how to next approach my research

#and it could go horribly wrong #and then it's on you #better than repeating another argument about why fucault is great #Foucault is still involved though #grad school #academia #grad advisor

When I think about summer break ending...

#I just go slack #ughhhh #tina belcher forever #grad school #academia #ugh

When someone is trying to mansplain me and keeps saying "anti-sementic" instead of "anti-semitic"

#the more you learn #mansplained #mansplaination #anti-sementic #child please #academia #grad school #whomp whomp

When someone tries to tell me that it is “irrelevant” to Heidegger’s philosophy that he was a Nazi

Then let’s just throw away the vast majority of literature/writing/science/philosophy up till around the late 20th century(and that is still being extremely generous) because of your logic.

We wouldn’t want to associate with the countless bigots, racists, and sexists either, right?

Let’s just start all over, because we’re too good for that.

No, I'm talking about the part where in the black notebooks, he talks about how Jews are incapable of Dasein, calling the entirety of his own actual theory into question because of the conditions he places on it. But you can hashtag "fucking idiot" all you like.

Self-talk for when I doubt my ability to EVER become fluent in one of my foreign languages

#just keep practicing #foreign languages #grad school #academia #comparative literature #comp lit

Most people's reaction to the sentence "I'm getting a PhD in Comparative Literature"

#at least people are still reading when they read 50 shades of grey #that's what I tell myself at least #also magazines #really anything in print that isn't the internet #really any reading #grad school #academia #comp lit #comparative literature #books

When I start to feel alone in my exasperation at all the social injustice that our greedy, capitalistic, patriarchal, racist, classist, sexist, homophobic, selfish and closed-minded society, both sustains and demands

#misanthropic for a reason #disappointed in the scotus #and just about every other branch of government #academia #grad school #war on women #racism #sexism #homophobia #the patriachy #classism

Upon realizing that I spent/will have spent basically my entire 20s in school

#also debt #wasted youth #third life crisis #academia #grad school #grad student problems #wasting my 20s

When I say to myself "I'm not going to analyze this movie critically or theoretically" and then...

#can't have nice things #literary theory #critical theory #pop culture is ruined #culture industry #things grad school ruined #academia #grad school #grad student problems

When a peer asks if I've gotten started on any of my summer work

#unless we count the part where I am watching reality tv for research #i'm good at that part #grad school #academia #grad student summer #no work #procrastijuly

Trying to pay off my sleep debt by forcing myself to sleep for 11 hours at a time while I have the time

#no sleep that's less than 10 hours #sleep debt #paying it off before my real debt #in roughly 20 years #grad school #academia #summertime coma
