Graduate was longer, more recent and a lot more fun than high school. Also, I'm occasionally asked about graduate school by my students.
So, why no long discussions of graduate school?
This is a blog, and blogs tend to be pretty heavy with high school nostalgia. No doubt because so many blogs are written by people currently in or recently graduated from high school.
I'm still in regular contact with people from graduate school. If I want to try to create stories to make sense of my graduate school experiences, I'll just get in touch with my friends, after all they were there. What's more, if I start to weave a private mythology about graduate school, one of them could easily read this and shatter my myths. Nothing hurts like the truth. In particular nothing hurts a good story like the truth.

Since you figure in so many tales of yore yourself Paul, I think you're fully entitled to spin a yarn or two in public...

I know your students enjoy the stories, I am one of them. As to whether you look good in the story is up to your discretion! We only allow others to see what we want them to see. Just remember, that the requirement is something you have placed on your freedom to be yourself! Linda Andi
