Addendum
One of the other reasons why I am ready to graduate: Academia hates the military. I strongly believe the reason why I did not receive the "Best Philosophy Student" award this year was because of my association with the Marine Corps. Instead of the person that has grown the Philosophical Society to amazing heights, started a chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, and is the advisor to the frickin Dean for all matters relating to Philosophy, they gave it to someone else. Too many old hippies are still hanging around in their nice little sheltered, tenured positions... Bitter? Just a wee bit.
