Back to School

[thestrangequark]

^I do think I have gained a very different perspective to those who will be applying directly from undergrad. Since I'm going for a PhD I imagine there won't be many youngsters, though. Of course, you might consider me a youngster, since I was all of 1 year old in 1984.

Good references rarely get you a position...

So, what do I need to do to get you to write me one?

I've been in academia all my life, so I don't have any relevant advice for re-entering it after a hiatus, but I just wanted to wish you the best for you endeavour, tsq. Also, knowing you are wickedly smart and ferociously dedicated when you get into something, I'm sure you will do well.

Can I marry you?

The position is virtually taken, but I wouldn't mind getting a look at your résumé.

I have a wishlist, but it gets pretty weird after point three...

Can I get in on this deal too? ;-)


Good luck with going back to school, tsq! I barely have any energy at all after work, so I wish you all the best!
