>When I was in graduate school in the late 90s I took a flight home for the summer break. I was reading a math research paper during the flight.

She ended up in accounting. She was still upset over that injustice. "When I was in graduate school in the late 90s I took a flight home for the summer break.

They're done being viewed as "pathetic" when they're dying by the tens of thousands in the largest European land war since WWII.
