Epidemiology Prof: Not mad at it or anything, but any reason every paper you've turned in so far this semester has been on Tuberculosis? Seems like a heavy topic to be diving deep into this early into your grad school program, and they didn't have to all be on the same topic - you know that right?
Me: BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING THAT DON'T NEED TO BE DAMMIT! * waves frantically in the general direction of my favorite unpaid coffee intern @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog *
*Introduces prof to nerdfighteria*
* word vomits a long string of things I learned about TB from my favorite unpaid coffee intern in her general direction*
Prof: Oh wow. Okay. You do know a lot more than I expected you to. Carry on. I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable and passionate Here if you need anything, but it sounds like you've got it covered (goes back to prepping my seminar on the topic for my fellow classmates as my final exam)
Thank you unpaid coffee intern. You have given my life a weird direction I never thought it would turn, but the more YOU dive in, the MORE PASSIONATELY I dive in and get hyped to help in this arena.
Cant wait to see what you've got planned on Thursday. Knowing you its pretty epic.. and thanks for the additional resources for my seminar next week. This exhausted graduate student much appreciates the assist.
