Uhura hadn't been convinced that Spock was one of those professors that really liked what he did, but when she heard him talking about it he changed her mind completely. He actually seemed to really love what he did. There weren't many people out there who loved the act of learning and she found she could relate with Spock in that way. She loved learning new languages. There was hardly a time when she wasn't working on some foreign language. Sure, it helped her out in her job, but she knew enough languages already to keep her employed forever. She didn't need to learn them. She liked to learn them.
"Wow," she said, raising her eyebrows at Spock. She nodded her head and smiled at him. "It sounds like you really love what you do. Not a lot of people can say that about their careers. You're lucky."
