Vampire Slaying, PhD

I posted the following on Facebook one day:

I think that if Buffy had been in grad school instead of high school, she would have been a lot more complacent about all those apocalypses.

This got me thinking, what would happen if Buffy had been in grad school?  Here are some classic BtVS moments, re-imagined to be more appropriate to the grad school life:

Silver Linings...

I won't have to go into lab tomorrow!
(From "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date")

The "I Hate My Life and Every Decision I've Ever Made" Phase

Pretty much sums it up.
(From "Becoming, Part 2")

The Complicated Student/Adviser Relationship

From "Lover's Walk"

Departmental Seminar Refreshments

From "Restless"

And Finally, The Dissertation Defense

From "Showtime"

These are all I can think of for now.  There will probably be follow-up posts once my next Buffy-binge-watching session inspires me.
