Defending your Life

We live in a violent land, as the guy from Visualize Milwaukee knows. Threats lurk at every corner. People steal my iPod. Shadow dictators of puppet governments move sleeper agents around the Risk board of the game of Life like pawns in a pawn shop. Videogame playing teenagers devise strategies to reverse evolutionary processes and create ninja spells. But the question is: who will save us from the graduate students?

p.s. to fiestawizard: don't get any ideas from that article, or make any sudden movements. and don't anonymously send an overly-dark-and-slightly-blurry-Xerox copy of it to any graduate-student advising faculty who you might or might not know.

Interesting... I remember hearing about some of those events.


“It’s hard to understand just how powerless you can feel as a graduate student unless you have been a graduate student.”

I've never realized that until now. But then again, one must always maintain a low level of expectation and further develop themselves outside the world of grad school. That's one thing that's sort of mentioned; these students all poured everything into one thing. Looking back now, they say, it didn't really matter. But then what does? Well, kids, within all of the rigor of schooling, maybe you'll find it, maybe you won't.

Also, it was funny that the one guy was in grad school for 20 years. Well, not funny really I guess. They knew him around campus as the guy who pretended to be a student but was actually homeless and really just desired warmth and friendship... the latter actually being true.
