academia is for suckers.

Being that it's April 15th and all (binding decision day for admitted grad students), I had to post this in tribute to all the time I wasted on thegradcafe.com. This will probably be funny to like two people, or nobody.

For those uninterested: Here's an article filled with
dapper dudes on Dutch bikes. I was pissed that no women were included and that comments like this were made:

'Still, he concedes that the machismo of bike culture is hard to fight, adding: “The only person I know who has a Dutch bike is a girl.”'

NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

Ok, so I'm one of the two people I guess. That was fairly hilarious.

I was not funded. They will be sending along applications for writing center TAships shortly. A bummer, but hey, I signed on knowing that that could happen. No regrets going to the place where I feel like I will do my best work.

I had a good laugh at the video...never seen that site before...there are many reasons why people like me only go to grad school for 4 hours...and jeez, so many of my old high school chums are lawyers now...
