hi compsci, glad to hear you're feeling better. in response to your questions, i think that that although support systems could probably be improved, which would help many students, there is a certain element (and i include myself in this category) that were crazy to begin with. i don't know the stats, but i would guess that a disproportionately high number of postgrads/academics suffer inherantly from mental health issues. oh woe... i've always had a tortured soul...
waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
as he opens the door, she rolls over...
pretends to sleep as he looks her over
well it's not 4o'clock yet, but it's late/early enough. that's another chapter written (yay).
night night
wow - that's another one of my favourite things: standing still and looking up at the sky when great big snowflakes are coming down and there's no wind (to be specific!). the snowflakes all appear at different sizes, dancing around and falling at different speeds. it disorientating and magical.
sadly, it doesn't snow here like i remember it used to when i was a kid. we still get a couple of bouts in winter but the weather's doing funny things (not wanting to get into a climate-change debate!)
i found the french alps stunning, but not as pretty as the mountainous Polish south in winter - VERY pretty.
there are probably more benefits to your climate tho...
maybe trees waving at me in the wind. my desk overlooks my (tiny but perfectly formed) garden, but i live in a rural(ish) place. lots of fields, river, canal... i would love to live by the sea - it takes me about 45mins-1hr to get ot the nearest stretch that i enjoy walking on. it's called Formby and has wonderful dunes and woodland.
