Facebook didn't come to be until after I graduated college, so I'm only a recent convert. I've enjoyed reconnecting with high school friends, seeing how many of my college friends have babies, and even linking up with grad students I meet through work.
But sometimes I think I might need to unplug.
Take tonight, for instance. I scanned my Friends' status updates, and saw one from one of my closest friends from high school, who also happens to be finishing up his own graduate work. "Mr. Bear is almost done with experiments," it read.
I shot off a quick FB message to him, jokingly asking if he meant he was done forever or just done for the night. He messaged me back that he was indeed done taking data. Next stop, dissertation.
I'm happy for him.
Really.
Deep down.
But seriously.... first people were using FB to post status updates about prelim status, now job interviews, and now thesis completion? For my own sanity, I might need to log off of Facebook....at least until I have a job offer to update my status with.
