Incidentally, "fake it 'till you make it" is the unofficial motto of junior tenure-track faculty everywhere. At least I have experience with the concept, even if I can't put it into practice (I tend to be too literal/genuine). I'll just have to work harder at it this time, which shouldn't be that hard since it means more to me this time.
