<p>Starbright’s comment made me a bit nervous I went in to ask an instructor for a recommendation today, but ended up staying and chatting with her for almost an hour about non-school stuff. I would have wanted to talk to her even if she hadn’t been willing to give me a recommendation she has similar taste in music/technology and I think that if I weren’t her student, we could be friends. She is in the field I want to go into, and I feel like I have learned a lot from her. The idea that she could think that I only talked to her because of the recommendation makes me sick and sad, because I really like and respect her.</p>
