1) I've managed to get the Adviser to TYPE LIKE THIS TO ME in an email. I feel like this should be considered some kind of achievement. (Though mostly it's just a consequence of the fact that, despite of the amount of time I spent in his presence, there will be times when one or both of our translators break and understanding each other is harder than interpreting the lyrics of a pop star trying to be significantly thematic / artistic.)
2) At some point last night I realized that grad school in fact defies most common sense. At dark 'o clock, I found this immensely amusing, because my experience is pointing toward a trend that increase in length of time in grad school correlates to decrease in amount of common sense. I can only hope that it's a half-life / exponential sort of decay and not linear, so that the amount of common sense I possess will never actually hit zero. (If it ever does I will respectfully ask for a mercy killing. Please.)
