I don't wanna generalize, but there is something about a high level

English department professor that just makes my skin crawl.

I I once had um a professor in my

PhD years.

Um, I had just gotten this book deal with Orbit.

Um I went to one of the very few.

uh post grad mixers that I ever went to.

And I mentioned it um to a professor that I was excited to talk to because he

You know, his research interests lined up with mine.
