Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

[katerific]

How has 2012 treated you guys? What things were awesome? What things sucked? Are you tired of Gangnam style yet?! More importantly, why hasn't a "grad school style" parody been made yet?!?!

 

What things do you hope for in 2013?

 

 

 

 

Personally, 2012 sucked for me, but I hope 2013 is better. And I'm a little tired of Gangnam style--well, all the videos of people doing the dance, really.

2012 was a HUGE learning year for me! I look forward to new beginnings in 2013!

My 2012 was not bad. I passed my prelim, went skydiving, and completed my first half-marathon. Compared to years before (2010-2011), 2012 treated me nicely. 

 

I can't say if I like Gangnam style that much.. Well, it's a good catchy tune to listen to when you are sitting in the traffic.

May we all get showered with awesome data and "paper accepted" notifications


 

 

and may our advisors stroke our egos for our small yet big accomplishments

Katerific, I think I may be in love with you... just sayin'. Or maybe just with that bird. It looks super-happy. I could use some super-happiness.

Though I'd say that Gangnam Style is totally preferable to -- oh, it could totally be grad-ified:

I threw an app in the pool,

I know it isn't really cool,

I may possibly be a fool,

and now I'm losing my mind.

I'd trade my soul for "approved"

All my fears so disproved,

Time so slowly does move,

and now I've lost my mind.

My adcomms were meetin',

Stacks of apps, cheesy greetings

On SOPs, my POI's tweeting

You think you're getting in, really?

Hey, I haven't met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my application,

So admit me, maybe?

(Maybe I need to take a break. This obsessive-compulsive email-checking is rotting my brain.)
