<p>Are they worth pursuing? Wouldn't they be too much of a distraction?</p>
<p>errr…this thread doesn’t really belong here…your priorities in life and your personal decisions should be something you make for yourself…or at least, you should be asking questions like this on a “relationship” forum.</p>
<p>but I doubt you understand that point given you asked this question in the first place…so in short, relationships in grad school are as much of a distraction as relationships in college, in high school, and in your career for the rest of your life.</p>
<p>I can tell you that it is worth trying. You need to get distracted sometimes to get away from the stress of gradschool. I will certainly do try that.</p>
