while secretly awake

elwood012 : so you are still planning on coming back, then?
darksea : oh yes
elwood012 : that's good
darksea : I'm going to get a degree even if it kills other people
elwood012 : hopefully not too many other people...
elwood012 : I don't think that reflects well for letters of recommendation or PR material :p
darksea : it shouldn't kill any, but I won't be afraid to interpose a random red-shirt should it try to kill me.
elwood012 : ah. But not a purple-shirt?
darksea : well, that would depend on who's wearing it
elwood012 : heh

Assassination by thesis? Something like that.

EDIT : And this is how I choose to come back from a hiatus. *facepalm*
