Single Again
Well, that lasted all of 1.5 months.
While I am a little sad, I’m definitely not devastated. Neither of us were feeling a spark, but I was more willing to stick with it and seeing where it goes. So now… back to OkCupid…?

That’s my grandpa and dad in the picture there! My grandpa, as part of the Japanese army (this was during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan), was sent to ground zero of the Hiroshima site just hours after the bomb was dropped. He was younger than I am now! He was part of a group of Taiwanese men suing the Japanese government for not providing them with veteran’s healthcare that was...

This is fucking ridiculous. Not only was this woman raped, told it was her problem to avoid her rapist at school, and kicked off the cheer squad for refusing to cheer for her rapist, now she has to pay the school $45,000 in legal fees because she took them to court for their actions, AND LOST.
What is wrong with this world that shit like this can happen?

I am so depressed. These people are my age, and they’re already accomplishing/have already accomplished more than I think I will in my entire life. There is a person who was a 4th year neuroscience grad student at Stanford before he left to work on his start-up company, at nineteen.
My main goals this summer outside of my internship were: finishing Portal, learning how to play Pool, and...

Just got a Nestle Crunch ice cream bar from a dining hall worker. It makes writing this paper so much better. MLIG!
This is maybe the 7th time this semester that people have knocked on the lab door and asked if they could test the eye-wash. they really don’t need to ask permission to enter… It just makes me feel awkward to answer the door as if I’m some secretary.

people kissed for the Boston Marathon Wellesley scream tunnel.
One man even picked me up in his exuberance. That was sweatyfun.
After I smooched one of the older Korean runners, he said “Wait, I have something for you.” He then reached into his little runner’s pouch and I was frightened and a little bemused because I thought he was going to give me his number of all things,...

Garter belts are apparently no longer in season.
At least, according to the sale’s lady at Victoria’s Secret when I went shopping for a certain famous Wellesley creative black-tie event. I really didn’t know certain types of undergarments could go in and out of season.

There are perks to going to department hosted talks: awesome dinner afterwards! Dr. H. Frederik Nijhout’s talk should be interesting too. He’s the former PhD advisor of my major advisor! I wonder if Dr. Nijhout has any good stories to tell about my advisor’s time in graduate school. I want good blackmail material!

Getting my official transcript to my last summer program is becoming such a shit show. On the record for my fulfilled request, whoever fulfilled it misspelled one thing in every single line of the address I wrote down. I think perhaps they couldn’t read my handwriting, but the fact that whoever did it wrote “biomendical” makes me believe that it’s not entirely my fault.

I narrowly avoided the awkward situation of sending, “I need to wash my slave,” to my friend instead of “I need to wash my plate.” It’s the same key strokes on the phone key pad, go figure.

Dear Boston,
You thought that spring was here? APRIL FOOL’S, SUCKERS!

Seriously, it’s April, and it’s snowing. This is just wrong on so many levels. And California has temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s.

blwmeplz: Hi
Me: The fact that your profile is blank and your username being what it is, makes me think you're trolling me. True or false?
blwmeplz: if that means i like your pic and i want to talk then yes, i am trolling you
The ironic thing is that I can't tell if he's trolling me in the first message, and then trolling me again with his second message. Does anyone exist in this internet nowadays not know what "trolling" means? His screenname really doesn't help convince me of his sincerity either.

The drummer from Thriving Ivory, Paul Niedermier, went to my high school and had the same band director as me (way before my time though)! Not that I knew about Thriving Ivory until I was reading the facebook page to plan the retirement party for my band director, saw a comment he made about not being able to make it because he’d be on tour, and stalked him online.

So, after talking to a rather jaded kid dating one of my friends from high school and whose parents head a lab, have several Nature publications, and they still only make $80,000 a year (I’m assuming separately), I realized that if I decide to pursue only a PhD, the rest of my life is going to consist of earning very little money for a lot of work.[..] But of course,...
