Congratulations and great metaphor from your friend.

I had a husband once who was a glazier. He'd be up on high buildings installing windows. He said that sometimes the work had to be so fine and exact that he couldn't wear gloves. Working with glass, he said, you had to bleed. You had no choice.

I saw grad school that way - and a lot of school. You have to bleed. You have no choice.
