Since both of my children were born during my time as a Ph.D. student, I have definitely felt isolated from other grad students. I am grateful that I've been able to teach over the past two years, but still, as you know, the experience of trying to finish all of the academic requirements is isolating. I miss being close to campus so that I can regularly commiserate with my fellow grad students in person; thankfully, we can do a little bit of that over social media. However, it's not the same. At any rate, I hope that all is going well with you; congrats again on finishing you Ph.D.! Happy holidays!gradstudentparentetchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10220039401166336644noreply@blogger.com
