Please sedate me.
Applying for PhD programs is driving me insane. Can’t they make this simpler…or is this process intended to weed out people? People who can’t stand sitting at the computer searching through not-so-well-designed web sites for important information that really should be emphasized in some fashion. People like ME.
My brain is going to explode. As is whatever part of me that keeps me somewhat agreeable to other persons.
And Christmas is coming up, that time of year when us rhetoricians get to try to explain to other people who we are (arguably) related to what it is we actually do. Joy. My new response: “I…teach. Let’s just leave it at that.”
And if anyone, and I mean ANYONE, decides to argue with me over the importance of punctuation this year, I’m going to probably need some bail money. Will anybody be around over break? Because commas are important, without them communication would be even more horribly unorganized and incomprehensible. And then how would I separate my strings of swear words? Bring it on.
I COULD sedate you, but I’m pretty sure if I did, you wouldn’t like what I’d do next. Then again, you might.
Happy holidays, I’m looking forward to spending 2 hours a week with you next semester. It seems like about the perfect amount of quality time without one of us wanting to hurt the other.
By the way, I like the new look of this place.
