Is the life of a graduate student much different from that of a monk? I guess I don't know that much about how monks live, but I spend most of my waking hours isolated, thinking. It's possible for me to go entire days in total silence. It's sometimes jarring for me to return to normal conversation, since the thought patterns accompanying it are so different. I tend to eat sparingly and simply because I can't really afford anything better. I haven't been in a real relationship for...I don't even want to think how long. A year and a half now, I guess.
Not sure how I ought to feel about this...
