There...

...is something truly invigorating about giving a nicely inflammatory linguistics presentation to very clever people in the department, followed by an exceptional discussion with one of the attending faculty afterwards. So pleased am I. At times like this, I rather think I could handle being in academia, if more of my experience consisted of this.
And in the back of my head, a little voice is shouting, I am victorious! Weeeeeee!
Go, go, Gadget-thesis-work.

'Nuff said.
Hmmm, actually, as I'm chatting to a linguistics person ... I suppose that writing 'nuff said' really isn't appropriate, is it?
I wonder, just as (I would imagine) people as a whole would get self-conscious when finding out that they are talking to psychologists ... do you find that people begin watching what they say around you when they find out you are a linguist?
On the contrary - completely appropriate as the colloquiual register of "enough said". [grin]
do you find that people begin watching what they say around you when they find out you are a linguist?
Sometimes. Though if they've heard me talk previously, they tease me about my odd uses of language. "And you, a linguist even! :: tease :: "
Nonetheless, much much debate arose among the attending faculty, so I was very pleased.
