Graduate School... a lot like growing a beard.
Time... it takes a good amount of time to be successful in both endeavors. For some reason I thought that I could complete my first graduate assignment the morning it was due. Synthesizing 12 sources into a 7-page opinion paper is a lot like trying to connect your mustache to your goatee... it's not going to happen over night and the task will definitely be a challenge. A valuable lesson was learned this morning: hard work and perseverance will yield posiitive results, even in hopeless situations (it didn't work this morning, but hopefully future hard work will pay off).
Brevity: it's a beutiful thing (so is using an uncommon word when a common one will do, so as to sound like a pompous jackass).
Much love!

one time i wrote a paper about a book i had only read half of. i just made really general and stupid and untrue observation about the first half of the book and hoped my teacher would buy it. he did not. i got a D. but i got a B in the class, so go figure.
the moral of this story is...um...SAY! i didn't know connecting a mustache and goatee was so hard.
