i'm buying mine beer ? ?

I'm doing similar -- bottles of wine for all of them with the exception of one who is pregnant -- I think I will get her a nice book, since we would often discuss our favourite reads, or maybe a gift card to the movies or something.

What would be appropriate gifts for letter writers? Cookies and chocolate?

I got my current PI an aromatherapy candle, another (younger) professor a care package with sipping chocolate, face masks, and body cream, and my undergrad PI a handmade holiday card with a handwritten message, which I had to mail out.

Writing poetry in the mean time to keep me busy. Good luck to everyone!

 

The waiting game

The waiting game.

Stressing, stressing, stressing.

Thinking too much, not thinking enough.

Concentration broken.

Focus, focus, focus.

Mundane tasks cannot provide the needed distraction.

My mind questioning.

Racing, racing, racing.

Why not me? Why am I not enough? What else can I do?

Thinking about the future I so desperately want and all that comes to mind is:

Inadequate, inadequate, inadequate.

I don’t deserve this. I should give up.

But then, I remember the hard work over the years.

Striving, striving, striving.

To do better, to be better.

Many sleepless nights reading, studying, writing.

Diligent, diligent, diligent.

And so, I hold out hope. Hope for my dreams and goals.

Hope for a better tomorrow.
