Fellow blogger Z published a charming story on her blog. Two grad students are talking:
Parisian: I have spent the whole afternoon reading Shakespeare, and I do not see that it has done me any good!
Londoner: Surely not. That is why I spent the afternoon asleep!
Z asks her readers to guess the gender of these students. I have no idea what their gender might be but I can say that they neatly symbolize 2 aspects of my personality: the obsessively hard-working Jewish persona and the happy-go-lucky, perennially snoozing Ukrainian persona.
I’ll let you guess which side of me wins more often.

I haven’t a clue to their gender either. But if I were in their shoes, I would simply have had someone read Shakespeare to me while I was dozing, or play a tape of it. I have a split between lazy and productive as well, can you tell?
