Dear Son,
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.
Love,
Dad

Love your blog... I am working on my MA in linguistics now, and enjoy all your posts!
I'm waiting to get one of those letters from my son. He's been in college now for about a month, so I expect it'll be coming soon. ;-)
Lorelei - Thank you for the compliment. It is always nice to meet people who love studying language as much as I do. What is your favorite sub-field of linguistics?
