Sleep and the Graduate Life (Scholar’s Compass)

July 14, 2015 by Dana Ray 3 Comments

Normally, I’m a heavy sleeper. But I woke up the other night and rolled over to a more comfortable position. But I did not fall back asleep. Instead, I began to think about the rent on my new apartment due in a month. I began the math of incoming paychecks and other bills and repeated the infinite lament of the graduate student stipend. I did not sleep for another hour.

Feasts and Revelry: Good Food and the Grad Life (Scholar’s Compass)

July 12, 2015 by Dana Ray 2 Comments

I visited the Trade Winds Asian Market on a rare summer evening where time slows and places itself like infinity in your hands. I wanted to make green coconut curry before the summer ran out; summer always seems to run out before it has any right to do so. A friend and I drove to the market and wandered the aisles of unfamiliar labels and food types. We pondered the notations in Chinese characters of which green stalks were lemongrass and which was the Thai basil.

Movement and the Graduate Life (Scholar’s Compass)

July 9, 2015 by Dana Ray No Comments

People say the combination of physics Ph.D. student and ballroom is an odd one. They say that it’s unusual to find the artist and the scientist in one body. But Robbie Fraleigh manages it without any conflict. He says that he doesn’t know how to do grad school without the dancing.

The Samurai Number (Scholar’s Compass)

July 7, 2015 by Dana Ray 1 Comment

When you look up this number online, you’ll find it associated with a business model and manager structures. But I first heard this ratio from a dancer.
