Academics can haz hobbies \o/

When I grow up (aka finish my degree and get a ~*real*~ job, i.e. be a professor), I want to be just like them. :D Being a grown up doesn't necessarily have to translate into being more concerned with ~*real life*~ -- it just means that I can combine my research interests with my fannish interests and have increased funding (i.e. a ~*real*~ salary) to pursue my fannish interests. :>

Also: people are all, like, yay, summer break is starting, and I'm all, oh noes, half of my summer break is over (and I totally don't have half of my project done D:)!

This reminds me...I keep meaning to ask what field you're in.

Also, I'm really enjoying Fangasm's interviews, too! Yay! (though, I have to admit, I was a little upset when I saw in their latest post that they actually liked The Last Airbender. I mean, really?)

Every time I tell someone that I'm in marketing, I always follow it up by explaining that it's more like social psychology than marketing marketing. We study anything and everything that is related to consumer behaviour. :>

I've only read the latest entry that was linked on the spnnewsletter. I'm surprised to hear that they liked TLA, especially since it seems that at least one of the pair (the psychologist) studies race and culture (among other things).

Oh oops, I just noticed that the TLA comment was at the top of the latest entry -- I skimmed everything up until the actual interview when I read it last night. ;;;
