Seperis: There'd be a whole grocery aisle for it.

Given the nature of academia, assuming this is a non-unique phenomenon, it's not like none of them have ever been there.

For hours and hours and hours. At least peer reviewing helps pass the time.

It's a grad student's lot in life, really.

You know, this could lead to unprecedented academic achievement even for slackers, if you think about it.

I dunno, if I were stuck like that for hours I'd STILL probably read fic instead of doing homework.

Or spend the time IMing you instead of doing either.
