very good point. Some people just suck.

You would hope so. But there are a lot of people (not necessarily the poor folks in Lousiana, just folks in general) out there with an immense feeling of entitlement who don't seem to think that way. (My wife has the pleasure of working with lots of criminals and people who have defaulted on debts they owe, and the way some of them act/think is mind boggling to anyone who's decent and rational.) It's all about them, and what everyone else "owes" them

but at the very least everyone should try to be responsible for themselves, if your capable of more so much the better, then you should take on more responsibility and do your best to care for others.

Something like 50% of people who start their PhD programs end up finishing everything but there dissertations.

They're so cute when they're young and naive. Personally i'm at about that point just before the motivation crashes when you realize that no one will ever read your research! But at least i'm almost done!

And where would that be my future fellow research slave?

Are you an Engrish major? what do you think

grad school is it's very own special sort of suck. How many other places to you get to pay someone else to make you fell like a moron afterall! My condolences in advance

Hot date with Gary's advisor?

fond memories?

I'm nodder really sure?

Gary's probably chained to the rack being tormented with hot-coals at the moment. Ah the joys of grad school.

Who really needs 3 holes punched anyways?

hmmm, I don't remember if it's the same one or not. Was just driving past and noticed last time I was in town

She likes it that way. Damnit I almost forgot the snaffle!

You two knew they turned The Micro into a tattoo parlor didn't you! No more cheap midnight movies in a church

John's Alley sounds right! I'm thoroughly impressed. Such pleasant liquor soaked memories!

Sounds like it sucks to be you Gary! Would you like to borrow my advisor too? He's nice, almost never on campus, and doesn't really know computer models. So he's not very helpful, and doesn't have funding, but is very easy to work with.

because some of us are being productive today

I believe the correct answer is, "More things than you can possibly imagine, and or have time to discuss." Just look here for a sample... the Nodder! OMG

Yep. It wasn't Mingles or the Garden though. Was some little basement joint, but the name isn't coming to me.

Would you like to borrow one of mine? I have 3 to spare right now

Hell if your memory is good enough to remember bar names you didn't drink enough UofI late 90's for me.

mmmmm, drinking as a proffesional sport...... I remember a bar that used to have a weekly drawing and whomever won got all they could drink for a solid day when were you all there?

Moscow was just a kick ass place to go to school!
