Ah, congratulations, Losty. My wife was an academic advisor until she got promoted(she still does that job, she just doesn't have the title anymore). Because of that, I have to wish you luck in dealing with some of the spoiled students and their overbearing parents. You're probably going to need it.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
