The sad thing is that early on, I actually did have the romanticized notion that I would fall in love with another grad student and we would go off somewhere and write and teach together. It almost happened, too, but I'm so glad it didn't!
(in a monotone) 'I want my dughter to be a college professor.... I want to subsidize her endless changes of majors while paying for the NCAA football team. Please let my daughter be a college professor'

Sad, yet so true. My mother told my cousin this as she's completing her PhD program...sadly the pay is better in a public school...
I've been laughing about this all day. The robotic voices add to the creepiness. But oh, what wonderful professors I had, and how much I thank them (and still emulate) their mad devotion.
