I more than others should be painfully aware of the importance of not being an arrogant grad school student just because I'm in grad school. I can be arrogant for other reasons (cough cough IRONMAN ahem), but not solely for being in grad school. I railed against the ivory tower that so many of my friends happily inhabited for years before joining them in it. All of this said, yesterday in class a noted scholar was referenced during class discussion, the professor had a couple of power point slides about his work and then out of nowhere, some complete jackass raises his hand and says "I just looked up the wikipedia page on said noted scholar, and it says..." Uh. ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is a scholar that having clearly not read, you should go home and actually read, and I do not mean the wikipedia page about him. JESUS. Wikipedia? In grad school? Who do I report you to? Ok, fit of arrogance is over. Back to the mundane, like the fact that as I'm writing this I have one of those Biore pore strips plastered to my nose. Or the fact that one of my friends was so drunk the other night/morning that I received a text at 4:19 in the morning from them that was simply the letter 'o.' That should help you all feel real good about yourselves today!
Vote Mitt Romney.
