my department said no university would ever accept me again - this was a heinous crime!
The crime was the utterance ala no university would ever accept you again. You do the right thing for you, yet it is a crime. Brilliant. ;-) Gheez.

I'm a perfectionist! :-) and a procrastinator at times too. Bad combo!
Bad combo - no! Because whilst seeking perfection, the subliminal mind is at work whilst "procrastinating." Story: math killed me whilst I was at uni...I was certain I wouldn't pass the course. During a test, I just randomly selected answers to make it look as I was doing something, but secretly I was looking about the classroom to see if I could spy a person I thought would be a good "math mentor" and watched a guy who was so fast, it took him nary a second to (I found out later, correctly) answer the test questions. I watched him leave, and handed in my test. The next day I was in class, I asked him if he'd like a study partner, and I was terrible. He was amazing, I passed with an ok grade. My point is this: I would study and study and study math problems, and couldn't figure them out, but sometimes, when I woke up, I'd know the answer. There's no underestimating the subconscious :-)

Have you red "The Number Devil" - it's very interesting, and very subversive whilst pretending not to be.....Fascinating book.
