  1. Wrapping up the final edits of my thesis before submitting to the university. :)

  2. Well that's it for classes for me! All I need to do now is focus on my thesis and get it done!

  3. Question: A book I have read for my thesis uses a quote that it discusses in its pages for its title. I really like it, can I use that in my thesis title or is that not acceptable since the book uses it for its own title? 

  4. finished my first year of grad school. now, I get to spend my summer digging in the woods and then in Iceland!

      you have to read an entire book for each class, each week. I'll be reading two books this week in addition to articles.

      they already added a "make-up monday" like apparently ppl can make up all these missed days in 1 day?

      gk210

      My campus seems to have never heard of shutting for snow... to be fair, though - we tend to be slightly south of anything truly major.

    3. gk210

      gk210

      dude if classes are canceled AGAIN i'm going to be so annoyed.

    4. iphi

      Ha! Yesterday my lab director wanted me to come in today...so I did only to get a text an hour later saying it was "probably best to stay home today". -_-

      Don't break. When you think your at your limit just control to put one foot in front of the other and your come out of the other side

      text me! i'm back in town. i'm here for you<3

  23. got an email from grad director that some of my fellow cohort peeps haven't registered for two courses this spring, which may mean they are cancelled, yet they are REQUIRED. He pleaded them to register. C'mon people! I don't need this stress from you!

    1. iphi

      iphi

      That's crazy!

      Could you petition to take it as an independent study?

    3. AKCarlton

      AKCarlton

      Possibly...but one of them is literally a course that is required by everyone...so there is no way it could be canceled. The other is one of the electives...it's just baffling. We are only offered 3 courses this semester, which means we are required to take all three as grad students.

  24. pleasure reading. that is all.

  25. in Arizona thawing out from the Boston winter.

      Enjoy while you can! It's only getting colder here...
