The whole post resonated strongly with me. One of the bits of advice I received upon learning I was accepted into grad school was “Make friends outside the department,” which touches upon two the points in this post: have outside interests and a fallback group of cohorts. I did not follow this advice to my regret. As a result got caught up in departmental backstabbery and my entire social circle in this strange new town, based solely on fellow anthropologists, exploded.

That was years ago. Now I have groups of friends in different circles around town, including back in the department (different people!). I’ve picked up a few new engaging hobbies. I’m working on my dissertation a little bit each day and I really have no complaints.

As my yoga instructor said, “you’re not building a house, you’re stacking bricks.”

Lovely, Rex. And in my view spot on. Brings to mind what may be an entirely apocryphal memory, reading somewhere that Max Weber achieved his enormous output working, on average, two hours a day.
