Academics can haz hobbies \o/

[fishpatrol]

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:)!

Tbh, I have no idea. XD I'm pretty flexible in terms of where I want to work after I finish, whether at a primarily teaching school or a research-intensive school. I have a feeling the former would allow me more free time to pursue other interests.

Most days, I can't believe it either. X__X

Yes, teaching would. :P Though with the way jobs in academia are being cut...
