Do students still use books then? I thought it was all done from pcs these days!

Well... see that's the thing, in third year (and now of course) all my reading was from primary literature (ie scientific jounrals) which are all available online. Which is probably why I never went to the library. I have my own lil library of folders stuffed full of papers now though... can't see when I'm ever going to use them again, but I can't bare to throw them out - all that time and effort that went in to reading them in the first place...

Ha well... I kinda miss it actually. I had sooooo much free time - fitting in runs was never a chore and when it was nice out I could easily go to the park and sit and read... now though I'm cooped up in the lab all day, miss all the good weather, and have RTP crap (like that report) when I get home... but then that's all done and dusted now... but still... students don't know how good they've got it! (god I'm getting old!!)

Yeah exactly! It's weird how EVERYTHING has changed since I graduated! I've moved on from beer and cider to wine and cocktails (although I do love my ale... bring on the beer fest!), I have ENOUGH money... I can actually eat out with my non-student friends in nice restaurants instead of 'spoons curry night... I can actually pay for myself to go back home... In some ways I feel liberated, but in others I feel really restrained

Money... not especially. I get a stipend, don't think it can be considered an actual wage... and job... not really - I'm a post-graduate student. Still, I get paid more than teaching assistants. My housemates gets quite a bit less than me and is taxed on it, and she teaches kids who have been expelled in a community centre program thing... she puts up with sooooooooo much crap. She is a saint.

But yeah, I tell this to my first year undergrads who are INCREDIBLY lazy... I wasn't that lazy when I was their age (some of them are my age...) but they're all spoilt rich kids anyways, so I don't think they care.

That's right; if you want to know anything just ask a policeman.
