Grad School Hope

Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover Grad Student (This is a reference to a bad song lyric, so chill out)

An unnamed graduate student alerted me a posting on her advisor’s blog praising the attributes of all three of her advisees (here’s the link: http://dhawhee.blogs.com/d_hawhee/2006/06/encomium_on_my_.html).

In sum, I am impressed and jealous. The advisor in question conducts difficult and interesting research, has an obvious sense of humor, and is just cool. Now, I quite enjoy my own advisor, and he too is the cat’s meow in many ways. Still, I don’t expect, or deserve, such praise, but knowing that there are others out there willing to give it makes my weekend. Hope emerges from the most interesting circumstances, don’t you think?
