Hopefully my last thesis rant.

Mar 18, 2006 22:19

Right now I'm typing the text parts of my thesis poster. I have decided on a lime green background, orange (#FF4E00) trim, white text boxes, black Century Gothic font. My basis for the color combination (lime green and orange, and maybe I should change the font color to a rich dark purple) was a Shanghai Tang wallet I should have bought last year, which I am still thinking about. I have decided to use Photoshop CS instead of PowerPoint, Publisher, or Print Artist. I have yet to draw a schematic diagram for my Materials and Methods. I have not yet added labels to my figures.

My poster is due at 12 noon tomorrow. In UP. A twenty minute Sunday drive from my house. I do not want to be going to UP tomorrow. I don't know and don't care why 1000 microliters does not elicit a color reaction, while 10 and 100 do.

I don't know why the people who started working in May have gotten horrible results, and those who started working in twothousandfuckingsix get instant results. I hate people who subscribe to the crab mentality philosophy, but right now I just wish that thesis results quality could SOMEHOW be directly proportional to time spent in the lab.

I don't even want to present this data. It's so terrible that I don't see the point of spending hours on the computer designing a P1500+ glossy 90cmx118cm poster. It's not worth P1500. It's not worth the who-knows-how-many thousands of pesos I've wasted in the lab. I have not added to the pool of knowledge that science is supposed to deliver to humankind. Not even with ELEVEN FUCKING MONTHS of being sequestered in oppressive, discriminatory working conditions. There. I said it! OPPRESSIVE, DISCRIMINATORY WORKING CONDITIONS!

All I want is to sleep, go to the beach, take the GMAT, and turn my back on science FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN!
