Academia at all levels, from elementary school to graduate school, has it absurdities. Those absurdities often inspire absurdity from the students. There is the student who gets things like the minimum number of words for a paper, the student inspired to make the simple stories of life complex and of course, the student who gets things done at the last minute and creates pressure on himself for whatever reason. It is in that absurdity that academia departs from the real work world we all must survive in after we leave the academic world. Such absurdity leaves so many of us unable to compete and perform in the real world. Though I admit I am a fan of the Peanuts cartoon series, perhaps you will join me in finding this peanuts cartoon a great lampoon of the absurdity that is modern American academia.
