I am starting my PhD in the fall, and I want to skateboard to class and to the archives... but I am worried about my professors and peers taking me seriously. Is it too unprofessional to speed up my commute by bringing my board with me?
Some potentially relevant info:
The board is small and light, and I would be strapping it to my backpack when I wasn't using it. This means that it might be a bit conspicuous as I walk in and out of classrooms.
I am going to be at Harvard, and I am worried that people there will be a bit more conscious of these things there than if I went to a school in California.
Am I overthinking this? Should I just walk everywhere?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
