I would point out that sentimentalizing one's youth isn't unheard of
I will relate to you an actualfax conversation that I was part of in grad school.
Tenured top-of-field professor #1: Professor #2, remember the good old days when we were grad students and didn't have responsibilities and didn't have to write proposal grants? We could just do research without worrying about stuff like that! Tenured top-of-field professor #2: Ah yes, those were the days! Grad students, pay attention: you're so lucky! you're living through the best days right here! All the grad students in the room, including me: Uhhhhhhh. Noted.
(I mean, writing proposal grants IS pretty annoying, and a lot of grad school I DID find awfully fun. But...)
and raise you a Heinrich writing ever so cryptically he pretends the last twelve years didn't happen to Ferdinand
