      Way late but, I just noticed this and oh it made me laugh!

      I am reading an article that talks about the fuzzy logic model while I was browsing this forum ... and then I saw your username =P. Yes, I am procrastinating.

  2. I am reviewer #3.

      This has always been reviewer #1 for me. I just spent $2000 running an experiment that I knew would yield a non-result because the reviewer insisted *twice* and refused to accept our explanation. So, time+money wasted, but hopefully we can finally get this thing published. YAY science.

      And for the paper I'm reviewing, I am trying to be as friendly and helpful as I can. I want this work to be published, I just want it to be convincing first.

      sounds like a royal pain in the ass

  3. Rethinking my proposal(s) in two whole chapters of my dissertation. Exciting times!

  4. Fun fact: the proximity of big deadlines is inversely correlated with how much I procrastinate (as indicated by how much I post on the gradcafe).

  5. Happy New Year! May all our wishes for 2014 come true.

  6. Job applications: like grad school apps on steroids.

      Not getting a tenure-track position as an ABD isn't failing--it's the norm. But I have confidence that I'll be able to get a postdoc :)

  7. Shots fired on MIT campus. My friends and I are safe, but an MIT police officer has been shot and killed. This has been a terrible week.

      The new look left you speechless, huh?

      Its...different. It may take me a while to appreciate the change--same as last time the forum changed platform.

      But actually, I simply prefer that my profile say "." than some old status update from April which was there previously. I couldn't figure out a better way to make that status disappear :P

      Ah, makes sense.

      that's alright, I totally understand!Can I ask you a different absolutely random question though:are there any coffee shops in Cambridge that are open after midnight?That's one of the most frustrating things I experience whenever I need to go there.

      meh, there are some places that close around 1am but I can't think of any that stay opened much longer. My friend says there's a diner near Porter that's open 24/7 and has decent coffee+free internet so that's something to look into. Can't think of anything nearer Harvard/MIT and I know from experience that getting pizza delivered after 2am is almost impossible. Decent coffee in general is not easy to find--the American definition of coffee is seriously flawed..

  11. defending my first Generals Paper tomorrow. Nervous and excited at the same time!
