Prelim Study Buddies



Miles will be bald by the time he graduates // I've been living in my poofy vests and these new sneakers // UT's stadium in the sunset

Miles' prelims are coming up, so there are a lot of weekends at the library. What are prelims, you ask? Before he can continue in his PhD program, Miles has to pass an oral examination about anything related to geology or science related to his area of study. Literally anything. He has a list of a million or so articles he needs to read and he's also been going through old class notes. It's a big deal, so between prelim studying and research, Miles has very little free time.

So as a good wife, I take dessert and an arm load of my own work for our little study dates in a high corner of the UT Library. We watch the sunset and just try to enjoy the moment. It's not a ton of fun, but it's part of being married to a student.
