In the library?
After careful consideration, I see nothing wrong with this. Yes you can buy coffee and other caffeinated items on site until late into the evening hours, I still think library naps are acceptable at this level of academia. While spending the better part of my afternoon here trying to get lots of work done, I started feeling my eyelids getting heavy while my vision began to blur...
To my left I see a nap in progress. I considered this but opted for the coffee instead. On my journey to the coffee area I ran into a colleague. She had just slept for 45 minutes in some other section of the library and was headed to class. gotta do what ya gotta do!

intro
Intro:
Hi there! this is my first blog. Ever. It seemed appropriate to track my personal progress as a South Florida native moving to Delaware (where??) to pursue a PhD and thus be equipped to best save the planet.... or something along those lines. Here is what I have learned so far:
Winter is cold, but snow is pretty.
Fall is chilly, but really pretty.
Seasons are neat! I look forward to the one they call "spring".
Delaware is a small state with small towns, including the one I spend my time in (Newark).
Crossing the state line is a daily event.
Groceries are surprisingly expensive.
I strangely miss hearing people speaking spanish more often than English.
Living in a cold place requires a lot of supplies and new types of clothing and accessories.
I have a closet by the front door. For jackets. Yes, this is new.
Philly is a cool city and really close.
People here are nice, for the most part.
Of course, I really, really, really miss my friends and home and beach and warmth and scuba diving and late nights/early mornings at the club and dining al fresco 365 days a year and everyone having a pool to hang out at and.... you get the idea.
Thats all okay though. Ya know why? Cuz being in this small town in this small state studying big things--it will be worth it. And besides, I'd never be able to concentrate with all those pools and clubs and spanish speaking. :)
