Academic Assholes (ah, the alliteration)

( Ok, so I am going to write about this, get it off of my chest, and then continue with my Ling reading (as opposed to attempting to do my ling reading, but instead distract myself with my ire). But I need to bitch first. )

academic assholes, grad school

Will call later tonight to expound upon this, but the short answer is: no, you are not an academic asshole and should not reign your excitement about your TOTALLY AWESOME thesis topic. Not in the least.

And you would have been well within your rights to tell Sir Asshole where to stick his wand.

I mean really. Merlin? Puh-lease.

So, I have the comparative politics workshop tonight (which, upon consideration, that ass might be going to, ugh), and will be getting out at/around 8pm. So, just in case, either I can call you after I get out, or you can buzz me when you're available (to be safe after 8:30, just in case... I'm not sure how long these things run).

Seriously.

I thought school was where you were supposed to express your ideas AND EXPECT REBUTTAL.

Was this not explained to the younger students somewhere in the application paperwork?
