Invention of "Shut-in"/"Lame" Night(s):

I have come to realize that graduate school is a bit more time consuming than I would have originally thought it could be. This is especially with the fact that procrastinating a 5-7 page paper is one thing, trying to tackle multiple 20-30 page papers in a weekend, or even a week, is far more socially debilitating. My suggestion to everyone facing school, better to put aside a night or two a week, call them "shut-in" or "lame" nights, and be productive. It will save you many headaches come the last two weeks of school. Back to communication pedagogy papers and faculty morale research.
