Grad School
Just an FYI about grad school: the students are no better than anyone else! Seriously. What irritates me the most is the fact that there are several people who believe that they're ability to critique authors makes them intelligent folk. Certainly, there's something to be said about being able to analyze something with a critical eye. However, critique is cheap. I'm not saying this out of some self-pitying trip. I haven't been critiqued. It's the pompousness that the other students critique the work of the past. Perhaps I'm foolish to hold it in such reverence. Je ne sais pas.
