someone suggested I post this lol

So given that life can throw some challenges my way, I like to find ways of lightening the effects these challenges can have.

Lately with school work, specifically with applications to phd programs, I have been stressed - I have taken on alot at school and I am doing well with it - the added pressure of those applications hasn't been easy for me but I'm managing and know I'll be thankful once the process is complete and I have my acceptance letters sitting in front of me - where I'll have the options of deciding which program will be best for me. That's a beautiful vision :)

Anyway - tonight while trying to read about phd programs, I sneezed a few times and jokingly messaged my friends saying that i'm doing school work and sneezing therefore I'm allergic to school work lol.

For fun, I wrote this letter to a journal in my area and showed it to a close friend of mine and she suggested I post it on my blog so here it is :)

Dear [journal name],

My colleague and I are pleased to share some excellent news in the area of school stress and graduate students. We have discovered that students can in FACT be allergic to school work when there is repeated exposure. This finding is very much influencial as it will lead to research in interventions and preventative measures needed for grad students to be free of such consequences. We look forward to you publishing not only this paper but all papers to come regarding this imperative matter that faces our colleagues of the future.

Sincerely,

Ally Gerrick-Tuskolverk
