A conversation between a professor and a confused graduate student:

Professor: _____, you are going to apply for the PhD program, right? When’s the deadline again?
Student: Umm… sometime in January, I think.
Professor: Are you sure? I’ll call the admissions office and double check with them. (picks up the phone, asks a few questions and returns to the student)
Student (with a quizzical look on his face): Well?
Professor: Yes, yes, you were right. Don’t miss the deadline, alright? I think that it would be great if you could stay here for the PhD program.

Here, we take a short pause to look into the cogs turning inside in the student’s head:
Student (thinking to himself): ..but what I really want to be is a rockstar.

The professor then looks at the student, asking if he had anything else to say about his death sentence. The student says nothing but it seems like there is a lump stuck in his throat.

Who knows what will happen next.
