It seems that I totally took my professor's comment the wrong way although several students in the hall have said things to me and seemed to have the same initial impression. I at least feel better now after several conversations over e-mail to clear things up.
Apparently the comment came out of a discussion not directed towards me at all but about all of the grads in our seminar class and not wanting us to "hit a wall" in which we began to hate academia. So, I guess I got on the defensive a little prematurely. I try not to get offended too easily but for some reason this one thing really ate at me all day.
I think what I need is a good trip out of town for a few days to refresh. Sometimes I get so imbeded in this whole grad school business that I bury myself in trying to do everything that I think is right and I forget to breathe.
