Maybe a tweed suit in my case....

Imagine a professor. What do you see?

Forget what you actually saw in college. Now really imagine a professor. He's wearing a tweed blazer with leather elbow patches, right? Probably carrying a stack of books. Maybe has an unfortunate comb-over. And he's totally got a PhD in something.

This is my journey into that stereotype. Over the next four years, I'll be working on a PhD in Mass Communications and Media Arts at Southern Illinois, and this is the log of my journey. When it's all said and done, I hope to have amazing hair, a fabulous leather (or faux leather, if you prefer) satchel to carry my books in, and a tweed blazer. Or maybe just a tweed power suit. I'm pretty sure the elbow patches don't arrive until tenure.
