You know what I hate. Those "high priority" tags people put on their emails. And it's always the same person too. I hypothesize this condition affects the same region of the brain responsible for typing emails like this.
If I want something read....I put it in the subject line...then there is no escaping! muahahhaha
 
Btw...ksmi, jla, anyone else that has been to a second look...how do people dress for these?
 
anyone know the consensus on LO(prettymuchintent) sent months ago?

here's the deal, LOI (intent...sigh) sent months ago because i love love the program. now, i really need to just commit to a program because I want to start mid-May instead of june because i need to take a week off for family stuff in the middle of the summer. So... i want to move in mid-may... making the April 30 (for mstp) waitlist movement date WAY to close to moving day, and thus in my mind impossible to cancel a lease and get a new lease in a different state and move in in the 10-14 days before i would like to be there. Oh, and to add to that, the financial aid for my significant other is drastically different between the two locations (the LOI where i'm waitlisted school would require 7k in private loans on top of fed loans, just for a BA). Would i look like a complete idiot for withdrawing now? I hate this position. Thoughts, please?
I don't see anything wrong with withdrawing. You have no commitment to stay on the waitlist.

cells should be in liquid nitrogen (esp after 2 months)!

annnnnnnnnnd

the alarm will go off in a bit
Really? I've left some in the -80C for alot longer than that.
 
turns out my boss/mentor has been offered a position at MGH, and she can take her research with her. pretty cool how my lab may just follow me to boston. crazy.

Awesome!

hmm i haven't been to any second looks yet, but for the hopkins one they told us to bring business casual clothing for some events, and completely casual clothing for the fun/peer-social events
 
just dug around the -80 degree freezer for a long ass time looking for a strain of cells. I don't think I have fingers any more.

ha, my boss has been working with liquid nitrogen for so long he no longer has sensation in his finger tips. think im gonna get there too if i keep at it.
 
Man oh man, Chipotle is soooo good.

That class scarred me for life. I have nightmares about me not being able to derive partition function from the ensemble on the exam.

i think you just wanted to use "partition function" in a sentence. i guarantee you that's the only way i'll be using it after this class.
 
Today's food for thought: why do we say 'I bombed that test'? It would make more literal sense to say 'that test bombed me.'

English makes no sense sometimes.

Also, my inconsistent use of capitalization and proper grammar on teh internetz is something I should change.
 
i've had so many friends ask me whether making baby noises directed at boobs would make women lactate after that episode of the office
 
If I am physically in lab but my PI is not here to witness it, do I make a sound?

You don't really make a sound even when PI IS there to witness it. At least it has been my experience.
