God, we are totally nuts, aren't we? I will get a PhD, but it won't be for years. For my field, you don't get a PhD unless you want to teach for a living, and while I think I could at some point, I don't want my options chopped off. But when I do, holy christ, I'm thinking of going to Michigan Tech, where they RENT YOU SNOW SHOES because it snows that much. I want to go to a place where bronchitis is pretty much a SURE THING for me because it's a top ten program, and I know I'm that good.

I will happily toss you a copy of my super-wordy paper. It was, I think, 5 pages over what it was supposed to be. Whoops. Where would you like it?
