I remember the first time we met, I was in my final year of Music Journalism, and I walked past your office. I saw a cardboard cutout of a Doctor Who character and without realization of what I was doing, I walked your office unannounced. You were sat at your desk writing something, and I vaguely introduced myself (as a massive Doctor Who fan) and complemented you on the various Doctor Who memorabilia you had placed around the room. I cannot remember the exact details, but I remember a brief conversation where I said that you were living the dream, an academic who gets to write about a show that they love, even If you have to critique it. I said that I'd love to do that one day...a year later, here I am. I have written something that I am genuinely proud of. I could not have done this without your insight, humor, and sincere care. It has been a particularly hard time for all students, but it is tutors like you who really make a difference. Thank you for all your wisdom and corrections, for calming my irrational fears and keeping me focused.
