I mean, sure, but what you said originally was a little more prescriptive than that:

Yeah, but that assumes you meet your life partner at that building lives point. That’s what my sister and her husband are doing (both in grad school) but my husband and I both had careers before we got married. (we met as I was leaving grad school; we had been dating for a few months when he graduated grad school)

So I am figuring out these things in the first year of marriage, though we talked about all of these before marriage. I guess my marriage is too new to say if this approach will work for us, but I know lots and lot of people it did work for.

This was beautiful and different (and way better!) than what I expected from the headline. Enjoy your space!

At least one Chinese gymnast was severely malnourished for large parts of her childhood because of poverty, not gymnastics

I’d recommend The End of the Perfect Ten, which just came out and which addresses Little Girls in Pretty Boxes

Yup. I am reading “The End of the Perfect 10" and Dvora Meyers makes a good case that the type of gymnast has changed with the newer Code of Points that prioritizes difficulty. Not all the other teams have adjusted. She also says that coaching in gymnastics has changed a lot since the 90's but she did not get access…

I love Gabby Douglas; she will always be my favorite

So this was Robert Putnam of Bowling Alone. He has VERY SPECIFIC notions of what counts as community, and because he is older, I don’t think he had seen the new ways it had translated because a large aspect of his research is around face-to-face communication and how the loss of that (no more stoops and neighborhood…

Me too :-(

I’ll just be brash about this: now that I sent you my paper, can I be ungreyed? I’ve been this way since the stars went away.

ME TOOO! I am still gray! Maybe Kate will ungrey me now that I’ve sent her my term paper

I can’t believe I missed these while writing mine!

Also, I am really good at writing smart-sounding titles,which does not always translate to smart sounding papers

Haha. Thanks? I had planned to do a survey and then do a qualitative analysis, but I got THREE HUNDRED responses, so I was kind of forced by Jezzies to do real analaysis, plus the whole writing for a professor who didn’t believe in Internet communities

Mine was about levels of trust people had for fellow commentators and how that changed with the implementation of Kinja: “’The tightly woven community began to disintegrate:’” A Study of Diminished Trust in the Online Communities on Jezebel.com”

I ALSO wrote a term paper about Jezebel for grad school. I got an A-; and was super proud because a prof said I’d never be able to convince my professor that community on the Internet was a thing. However, I am not sure I want to read it again

True, but she should have been the second. Enith Brigitha of Holland won the bronze in 1976, but the gold and silver went to East Germans, who were doping.

And so cautious!

And right after they get out of the pool! In an earlier interview, ledecky wasn't even given enough time for a sip of water.
