The effects of graduate study on mind and stomach:
This evening, I was sitting in the breakfast room of the
Graduate College residence hall, caffeinated and reading.
A reception was held there a couple hours ago, and a few trays
of munchies were still scattered about the room.
A fellow grad drops by, chats for a minute, then suddenly fixates
on the table behind me. "Are those ... cookies?" he asks in
weary disbelief. "Free?"
"Naw, just a mirage," I mumble, "probably just a big pile of sand."
"Oh," he replies, his gaze dropping to the table with a genuine
(or pretty darned convincing) look of disappointment. After a
short pause he looks back up and asks, with a little hope in his
voice, "do you think the sand _tastes_ like cookies?"
