					<description>Hello!

I recognize myself in your posts about graduate school and how hard it is.  I am a Ph.D. candidate in biology, about to start my sixth(!) year of grad school.  I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in your struggles with academia: I struggle with it too.  Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.  There is no easy answer when it comes to deciding whether to leave or not, but I don't think your hope that it will get better is misplaced.  Grad school is a roller coaster: sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down.

I hope you find the strength and peace of mind to make the best decision for yourself.  I am sure you are stronger than you think, and you can do this.  You have to believe you can do it--believing is half the battle.

And do try to take good care of yourself.  I think eating well, exercising, and blowing off steam (boxing or otherwise) help a lot when you are struggling with your graduate work.

Take care, contemplative one.

					<description>Hey, I thought I would check up on your blog.  Sorry things are tough for you in Grad school.  I have been through the depressed-undergrad stage, and I can only imagin grad school is so much harder.  I do know that you are a freakin' genius, so I hope whatever happens, you are able to apply yourself to something that is challenging and rewarding.  Good luck, Lin.  It is good to be in touch. </description>

					<description>Thanks for the hint, I'll have to give it a shot.

Someday I'll try real grits, but I think I need to get someone else to make them since I don't know what I'm shooting for.</description>

					<description>They use amaranth in some gluten-free recipes, as part of a substitute for the usual grains. Might have a little success finding recipes that use it if you give that search a shot.

That said, I've never enjoyed grits (and after seven years in Alabama, I've had a lot of them). I'm glad to hear yours turned out, well, pretty yummy at least.</description>

					<description>I'll be interested to hear the results of this one. I've heard that, for some people, it works out fine; for others, not so much. I have a hard time actually being awake before 8:00, no matter how many hours of sleep I get the night before.</description>
