argh blechen grad school cough spit

well

you know how i approach everything in life with insane optimism and naivete at first, then get subjected to some bone-crushing fall from grace, develop an unhealthy skepticism of the world and a correspondingly unhealthy weed-smoking habit, and finally settle somewhere in the middle, a cynical stressball who giggles at everything for lack of any better ideas?

yeah.

that just happened in grad school.

i joined a lab and then every single one of my experiments for 3 months did nothing.

then i had to take on oral exam, which i failed the first time around and had to take again this morning.

with that minor disaster in the past, now i have to pick up the pieces of my former self and decide wtf i'm going to do as a project for the next 6 years.

i have to choose something that doesn't not work.

luckily the girl feeds me lots of meat and doesn't give me any backrubs until it's absolutely positively i'm going to die without one and then she gives it to me and everything is all better :-)

GRAD SCHOOL IS HARD! AAAAH!

I won't bother with the clichés about science and failure, perspiration inspiration, blah blah...but falls from grace are probably inevitable. Just don't fall too far or I'll kick your ass.

Got your message on the SFO tarmac. Like Doug MacArthur I have returned.

Oh yeah, try my broadband internet phone service.

And it appears that Blogger now lets you turn on "word verification" to help with the comment spam. And the arms race continues.

Word.

wow. that was weird. two spams point to the same blog, and it's actually called "juicy fruit"? are these the machinations of some clever acquaintance of mine? or just the cold unforgiving gloved hand of david lynch google corporate america schizophrenia norepinephrine?
