writing papers
It’s so pretentious writing papers since you’re trying to sell your research ideas. Trying to grab reasons out of your ass. Well at least I get acknowledged for my excellent papers.
the weekends
To use my weekend to get some work done or to relax and sleep in. That is the question. Since I use my brain more than my emotions, I know what to do. Is that a bad way to live your life? Through your ego? Of course it is, but this type of living will lead me to success.
Why I sometimes find myself doing things that someone else could do. What makes me different? How do I make my experiments “mine”? I just want to get my work done and move on. No need to waste time trying to be social with everyone. All I want to talk about is science. Is that so bad? I don’t care about nightlife, I don’t care about small talk. I want to have meaningful conversations that would help me with my work. This is why I am not fond of parties and school functions.
Don’t get me wrong; I can be social if I want. Just most times I just don’t see the point.
lab politics
Rule 1: Treat the laboratory as a place to do your own work, which has nothing to do with the need to interact with people who tend to piss you off. That way, I don’t come in grumpy if no one says hi to me. Freak-offs.
plans
How come the minute I start posting again, I start getting spam comments?
Okay, today I was trying to get away with decreasing my sample size, but after listening to other people’s advice, turns out I would need a larger size.
Graduate school is such a community. There’s no way you can get away with never interacting with everyone at least once during your stay here. It’ll be completely insane if you never try to speak to everyone at least once, just to see whether they’re friend material. Having a greater number of friends is such a good thing. I just keep wondering why “I” gotta be the one initiating conversations–I think I know why, I am not a nice person; I don’t want to be nice and have to force myself to be polite. So, my plan is to make some more friends and maintain them.
