They pretty much go about their careers and just hope a student will come along and do something like Lazy Brains. I would definitely keep stepping on them about the grad classes. It could very well be an impasse, because surely there are profs who want you to be taking their classes, regardless of how beneficial it is for you in the end, but demonstrating the drive by declaring what it is that you want could help them take you even more seriously. That can't hurt at all, even if you end up losing this particular battle. Once again, huge congratulations, man. Pretty natch, I think, that they were JOing all over you.
