Remember Scrubs? I happened to love that show, except for that random last season. Anyway, they had one of the better theme songs for a show. That’s about how I’m feeling really now. I am no Superman. The last week has been taxing on me. I came back from spring break with a mysterious illness [...]

I am by no means an expert, but I’ve gone to grad school (am in grad school) and have friends who have gone to grad school. This is my disclaimer of sorts; after all, only you can really decide whether grad school makes sense. The inspiration came from my SO, who is trying to decide [...]

My schedule for next semester is tricky. It’s hard for me to believe it, but I cannot find a fourth class. Right now, I plan on taking: A particle physics class A class on higher education A required course on dissertation proposal writing I wanted to take a statistics course, but there isn’t a suitable [...]

Spring break wasn’t quite as relaxing as I had hoped. If you follow me on Twitter, I’ve been tweeting about two of my cats. They have had issues that required vet attention. One cat, Wepeel, had a mole mysteriously appear on his ear, the other cat, Yoshimi, has been wheezing and lost her appetite. The [...]

To make up for all the ballet classes I missed, I decided to double up this week. My schedule only permitted a class called “Ballet Blast”, which is labeled as a fitness class. I have been to the beginning ballet classes here, but I have never been to a ballet fitness class. I figured it [...]

Normally, my schoolwork is manageable. By manageable, I mean I work and it isn’t trivial tasks, but I can sleep, relax, lead more or less a normal life. Last week, my schedule went a little crazy with work. In three out of four classes, I had something pretty major due (papers and a quiz), as [...]

After spending several weeks pondering the ereader situation, I went with the Sony Daily Edition in its latest form (PRS950). The decision did not come down to proprietary formats or what books I can access, because I honestly do not read that many books per year; probably as a sign of the digital age, I [...]

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve been job hunting for summer employment. My employment options are a bit limited. I’m not in the right demographic for most science research internships (not an undergrad), cannot leave the area/do a live-in camp situation (I still have to pay rent and own cats), and I want pay. I have [...]

Confession: I have never taken a true spring break trip. Spring breaks were used doing school, somewhere in my hometown. Nothing exciting. In grad school, I think I spent the first one catching up on life things and the second one doing research. Grad school for my master’s was conveniently on the quarter system, so [...]

Today’s MassRaqs project was to create a Twitter account. I’m not sure how the Twitter account will be used, because I’ve seen Twitter used in so many different ways for promotion. The main ways I’ve seen businesses, big and small, use Twitter are Tweets related to their event/business/themselves. These are really any kind of announcements, [...]
