PhD student pantomime is a joke (Rousse)

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Dreamaticus

I despaired at the early rehearsals of the PhD pantomime. The acting was truly terrible, and now the students hoped that I would save the day by playing the role of the lead villain. My contribution was pathetic. Only my … Continue reading →
