And if a victory by Barack Obama isn't enough to get me fired up today, after I taught class one of my students came up and said, "You know, I'm just telling you because you probably don't hear this enough, but you're a really good professor."

In any case, I'm actually pretty touched by this and, since this student is doing pretty (though not excessively) well, I can hopefully take it seriously.

Academia! Fuck yeah!
