When I read that you don't have a laptop, I was kind of surprised. My life just doesn't work without one...not because I'm on the run but precisely because I need to spend a lot of time in bed. It made me realize that maybe I need to stop giving someone-not-to-be-named grief about an extravagant cell phone plan because maybe they feel like I do about my laptop--that their life just doesn't work without it. (Will I stop judging internally? Probably not till I'm perfected in the next life.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776690124152745936.post-88303595837089016292009-09-10T07:23:32.975-06:002009-09-10T07:23:32.975-06:00Sounds like a good read.

I do think you need a laptop, balance is important and in your situation, I think it is something that will greatly increase your standard of living as a graduate student. However, I do feel the burden of possessions, even my children do as there is that much more to maintain, clean up and take care of. I feel motivated to swoop through the house and take another load to D.I.Astromomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978717367300628814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776690124152745936.post-75421013317297385512009-09-09T17:01:17.907-06:002009-09-09T17:01:17.907-06:00I like the sound of this book, who is the author? ...I like the sound of this book, who is the author?
