Today when I came to school, I found I couldn't use my card to enter the PhD area where my office is. Phoebe told me months ago that this would happen. By default, a card becomes invalid after 5 years in the program. OK, I got the message. Just get it done and move on. This place has had enough of me and vice versa.

If you wonder what I do everyday and what I experience as a PhD student, check this website out. www.phdcomics.com Their descriptions are so true.
