I know I liked the law school. I didn't need a student to tell me about law class. I needed to know where to get lunch and workout between classes.
The gym? You mean the half a dozen gyms and the sports performance institute with a dexa scan machine? You godamn right we had some students sit with us we were supposed to ask questions. My wife told me I spent 80% of the time talking and asking about the food 15% asking and talking about the gym and 5% the law school.
Even your wife points out that your priorities are fucked up. You ask questions of students to get a feel for how to pass classes, how the load is, etc.
In first term I asked anyone I could from higher up how to get through each class. These students are 20 - 25yrs younger than you with better cognitive abilities than you have (remember telling us all about all of your concussions). Perhaps focusing on the REAL reason you're there at school might actually get you through it...not the all-you-can-eat buffet.
If someone was grilling me about the food and gym at graduate school...I would literally ask them why the fuck they were there. Then again, you're there for the food and to prove to your "wife and her friends" that you are as smart as they are; NOT because you truly feel this is your calling.
