i think the reason I haven't run into any bad PhD's is because I'm an English major

9th Engineer · 11-08-2006, 05:55 PM

English major? Uhoh, this is gonna cause some tensions (The whole science > arts thing).

No. I DID science. Radiology and Nursing.

Keep in mind that the job of a teacher is twofold.
Half is to impart knowledge and half is to get the students to do their bidding. The first half is successful only to the proportion that the second half is.

A teacher that's mastered the second half becomes a Professor. And well schooled in getting students to do his bidding....even for personal gain.

Correct SD. Its the funniest euphemism I've heard for them, so I had to share.

If a professer can get the first part, then any student worthy of calling themselves that will do the second.

SteveDallas · 11-08-2006, 08:33 PM

Ah, I see, thank you for the lesson. I'll have to try to find an opportunity to use it. (Me: That new soprano in your chorus has a nice set of sweater monkeys. Mrs. Dallas: SMACK!!)

You know you're not normal, don't you?

9th Engineer · 11-08-2006, 10:14 PM

It's so rare to get a prof who is really good at conveying the information that they get pounced on around here. My organic chemistry prof is like that and his sections are always the hardest to get into. Who wants to waste time listening to a braniac babble to himself anyway, it doesn't do us anygood come exam time

Oh, and normal is just plain boring so I'll take that as a compliment

xoxoxoBruce · 11-08-2006, 10:19 PM

It was meant to be.

Bri, when you aren't in class or on campus, where are you? Maybe if you put yourself in places where there are nice men who aren't PhD's you'll find men who are actually worthy of your wit, charm, and sexual prowess.

Trilby · 11-10-2006, 09:33 AM

Well...thank you, Labrat.

that was a very nice thing to say.

When I'm not on campus/class, I'm usually here at home-pretending to study. (actually, I do study a lot and put a lot of work into my papers--I feel blessed to have this chance and though I may sound flippant about it-I recognize it for the opportunity that it is)

Or, I'm fighting with my 15 year-old son--he's becoming quite a handful--not juvenile delinquent-wise, but just lazy, disrespectful and annoying-wise.
So--not much time to socialize. I also really worry about bringing a man into the picture while my son is so fragile (he suffered a breakdown Aug. 05--psychotic depression that took a year of meds to overcome) and so dependent on me--a fling here or there or crushes/love with unavailable men seems very safe...see? all my pathology laid out! But, I do get lonely and wish there was someone special around. Oh, well. maybe in a few years when Danny is in college..?

SteveDallas · 11-10-2006, 10:07 AM

What you need is a webcam. That would give you lots of opportunities to socialize with high-quality men without ever leaving home.

Or, umm, so I've heard.

Dagney · 11-10-2006, 10:25 AM

My DearOne has a PhD in Physics...he's not in academia however, he's a software developer for a university.

Not all of em are ijits....really

But I think you get from a person you're involved with what you personally think you deserve from that person.
Call it self fulfilling prophecy...for example - you think "I will never find a man who treats me well:" The net effect on your life is: the only men you find don't. Remember...you get back what you put out there. Sometimes moreso.

Seriously - it's what happened to me - when I decided, and started to believe that I deserve the best out of life, well, he just fell in my lap. I'm now living 3 states away from where I grew up, learning to drink sweet tea and speak southern, and planning a wedding.

It'll happen if you change your mindset
