Come come, Chapel Hillians

I'm surprised that not one of you commented on my post from last Friday. My fault, though -- your eyes will have glazed over when I mentioned the Merleau-Ponty Circle Conference, and you wouldn't have been able to keep reading.

The whole grad school thing

This afternoon I went to a "ProD brownbag," which was a company workshop on how to apply for funds for education. After their presentation on how great it is that the company will pay for one graduate class per person this year, they got to hear (again) my complaint that until a few years ago, they paid full tuition for people in doctoral programs, and that some of us had been relying on that expectation. I really ought to get past that and start dealing with the new reality, oughtn't I?
