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.

You already have amazing hair! You should really call this your Captain's Log, even though that has nothing to do with being a stereotypical professor, it's just funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to have one of those leather (faux leather) belt/strap things for my books. :) We'll be the coolest kids on the block fo' sho'.
