The other day a friend of mine was reminiscing about how happy and care-free her days were in undergrad. So over IM I shared her this small story about fellow suffering graduate students.
"M and I go out on the balcony and sometimes watch the undergraduates laughing and smiling... we've decided they are unfairly more happy then we are. ... that's usually about the time we start throwing things at them."
This was apparently good enough to be put in an AIM profile, and looking back on it I think it's one of my better stories. So with a bit of ego, I'm posting it here to preserve it for future readers. And if you ever walk by the Lee Center, be sure to either not look too happy, or watch out for various projectiles made of Styrofoam cup, bits of paper, and the not-as-often paper clip. Disgruntled grad students roam those parts.

Awe.. that's not fair.. we're struggling too... :-P !
I better watch out next time! jiji.. I'll make sure and look up!
We laugh because it's funny and because it's true. :)
Use blowguns.They arc and you can stay behind the wall. After all,you're graduate students.
Don't be banal.
I know that this is totally a moment of duh on my part but I just realized that you are in grad school. And I remember your first days at KU when you were a freshman in college.
I'm old.
Quijote... i have one piece of advise... throw many things and throw them often. (mind if i join in? i'm going to be a grad student soon!)
