Nerd Alert?
This is the best I could do?
That surprised me. My wife thinks I am quite a nerd. Guess I'll have to argue the point now...

An MFA *is* a Terminal Degree
Just another academic blog, this one by a guy who recently joined the tenure track after struggling to prove to various hiring committes that a Master of Fine Arts is, in fact, a terminal degree. I finally got hired in a department where I didn't have to prove it because, wonder of wonders, they already knew this. Yay. I am happy -- most of the time.

I got a 42, lightly nerdy. But I cheated so that I'd get a higher score....
Yeah, I thought about doing that too -- the answers were obvious. But I was curious as to what level the test truly thought I was nerdy.
Why we put so much thought into this I have no idea.
I think the test is biased towards science and astronomy nerds. IMHO, of course, but I can't remember all the questions now, and I'm being too lazy to bother looking it up again. Plus, I'm taking a break from course prep to watch a movie in my office at the moment, so this commenting is really distracting me ;-)
So are you saying that we really are massive geeks...just arts/applied science geeks...after all.
;) lol
What's the right word? Are science people who love Star Trek geeks or nerds? Are people who read all the time and quote literature and movies nerds? What about people who read a lot and have strong vocabularies (and use them)?
I'm a nerd or a geek or a something. I guess I'm just a film geek. I think.
