Grad U Library After Earthquake

Yes, the library ... where I still have modest borrowing privileges, though I remain unaffiliated.

No, I didn't take the picture (and sorry for not giving proper credit ... for obvious reasons). The library remains closed while staff work to re-shelve over 10,000 books before the start of classes next week.

Wow! I hope that none of the books were broken/injured.

About the Authors

recent Ph.D. started graduate school as an idealist with lofty goals for research and teaching. She has since become a pragmatist, no longer believing — given the bleak job market and the structural problems with higher education causing it — that she could have a future in the academy. "All the world's a stage," said the Bard, but recent Ph.D. doesn't know what role she is to play in the next act. Her posts reflect her adventures trying to figure it out.

LuckyZzz is a deceased cat whom recent Ph.D. was privileged to know. He inspired her to appreciate the value of friends, good food, potent catnip, and full days of napping. He occasionally visits to share his unique perspective.
