So, I am sitting in my "Deleuze in the Context of Poststructuralism" and were talking about his theory of becoming and one of the examples brought up is becoming-vampire. The prof. is like "so, I guess to become a vampire you get bitten" to which I shout out "no!" and then proceed to explain how to become a vampire according to the mythology of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was truly a shining moment in what I'm sure will be a mediocre academic career. I would like to contrast that experience with one of my recent “clearly I’m in grad school moments”.
