Grad School Girl

Who woulda thought that grad school could melt a brain instead of expanding it? I must have lost some brain cells along the way to middle age because I'm reading stuff and it seems to vanish before it gets into the cognitive section of my intelligence. I feel like a person running for a train that just left the station. Can see it, smell it, almost touch it, but, honey, it's gone. Hopefully, as I trudge my way through my first semester of grad school, I'll catch the train before it leaves me in the station, alone, bewildered, and not sure when - or if - the next train is a-comin'.
