You're much more focused and disciplined than I am, brother.
I always managed to make both Dean's List and the dean's s..t list;
truancy and ghostwriter mercenary sins bounced me out of grad school
once, and a Desert Shield recall saved my gluteus maximus from a
similar fate. This time, however, is different. I've turned a new leaf
and decided to play by the rules and wrap the Philosophy doctorate.
And I owe it all to the late Simone Weil; her writings will be the focus
of my doctorate thesis. Just wish I had met her sooner.
