You know you're in grad school when...

• You discover that typing words like "eighteenth century" and "constitution" require too many keyboard gymnastics. Thanks, auto-correct. 
• You accumulate so many library books you run out of shelf space and have to turn them into living room decor. 
• The National Tire and Battery guy assures you their mechanics are so good, they can judge fuel levels by sight and touch - and you think "great connoisseurship skills!"
• Your grad student beau complains that the palace guards in that new Rapunzel movie are wearing nineteenth century Prussian cavalry uniforms, and you justify it as a pastiche of monarchies throughout history. 
• Next semester's syllabi are the hot item to have this season.
• Touring three D.C. museums in one day is perfectly normal, and you have to get up before 6 am tomorrow to drive over 100 miles to do so. It'll be worth it, though!
