Do we care?
 
I had to hear quite a few speeches tonight, and though I enjoyed most of them, there were some that rattled on. So it made me wonder...am I the only one? As I looked around the room there were quite a few in the same position, hoping that speech would end soon. Then I wondered..I too had given a speech, did people think the same of me?? Heck, then why do I spend time doing or writing a speech if most just sit there and nod so I can get it over with?? hmmm.....

Think about it...
 
"Sometimes when people know a lot, they don't say anything. And sometimes when people don't know a lot, they say a lot."

Oh what a wonderful quote. It only makes me wonder about the ever so many people I know or have known. I cannot and will not name any names, but gee, the ones that talk a lot (when it comes to school and classes), hmmm...what does that say about them?? Gosh, it's odd but I totally AGREE!

Wusses that can't fess up!
 
Yes the title says wusses that can't fess up. mmm...basically what I'm trying to say by this, or am trying to describe people by this include those people that just can't tell someone something directly but would rather talk about whatever it is behind the person's back to another person. And have that other person talk to whoever it is they are back biting. It's odd though, I see this happen from many people; people of all ages. Why are people such big wusses/chickens? Why can't they speak to whoever they want to? Why do they need a third party??uggh..I hate it!

Stupid Show-offs!
 
I have realized one thing in this world, or at least in graduate school! That is that you should never tell others anything, and just nod to what others say! Hence I never ever tell anyone about what I'm doing with school, and just listen to others.

But but but..it's getting to be really annoying. As most graduate students I know, for some reason, have some competition or something with me. Or do I just think it? They are constantly showing off that they are doing this or that, and blasting what they are doing in my classes to my teachers for no reason! uggggh...must people say stuff about what they are doing to prove themselves worthy??? To whom? If you cannot think you are worthy enough for yourself, and must have to tell others about it, errr one is messed up and should re-evaluate themselves!!! I'm sick of it all!!!

Back to writing....once again...
 
So the dreaded day came and went..and I'm back to writing my thesis again. Yikes..I am sick of it! I don't know, it's odd, but I suppose it's really annoying to have a perfectionist advisor, or so I think she is one!

April 15th came and WENT
 
YES YES YES! April 15th, that dreaded day I have been so worried came yesterday and is already over with! I'm soo happy! April 15th was the day I had to decide on what school I was planning on attending. Though I had said I was going to Purdue, I had till april 15th to back down from that and still choose Carver college of med..but now the decision is set and final.

Now days, two faculty at my university, both from Purdue university are being very helpful to me. They offer me advice on anything I have questions about. Today they told me about housing, and I'm going to look into it....Ohhhh...what a relief!

Do you know what you are getting yourself into??? HUH
 
Okay okay, so now that I'm into this phd program thing. I've told some people about it, and then they ask the question...how long will it take. So I tell them that the national average for completing a phd in the biological sciences is 5.5 years. Yah, and then everyone is like, are you sure?? HELLO, did I just apply for a phd not knowing how frikkin long it would take me?? Of COURSE I know it would take me that long. And OF COURSE I'm going to do it! It's not really about how long it is, but rather that I WANT to do it..and that's all that should count! The fact that I'm interested and am willing to complete such a degree.....

Anostica is a Boiler Maker? huhhhh
 
Yes yes..I like to make things that Boil..that's what my life is. NO, that's the mascot of Purdue University. And I will be a graduate student at Purdue University this fall! They gave me a 40K scholarship...with quite a bit of that money for a stipend to live on. What more can you ask for?? Gosh, the decision is DONE..and I can move on with my life!!! yehahhh...Purdue it is..as if I didn't know all this all along?? I've been saying the name Purdue since I was 16 years old!!!!

I am a Fish in a FishBowl!
 
Yes yes, I am a fish. Well at least I feel like one. I donno, I can't seem to get my own space EVER. I feel as if there are people who just need to know what the hell I'm up to, and just wanna treat me as their fish. I only wish, me, as the fish--I could jump out of this bowl. People need to learn that fishes (me) have lifes, and we need our damn privacy. It's getting to a point that I just wanna yell it all out. I mean my office is even like that, till my officemate wrote "please dont' feed the TA's on the window...mmm....as if that doesn't lure people away..
