Good news and bad/gross news

The bad/gross news is all related to me being super sick. But other than that things are going pretty well!
Thesis, job, the usual. Also fevers! )

job search, ill, grad school adventures, thesis

Good luck with your thesis! Maybe your references are all nice because they enjoy reading a good thesis.

(I think you should reconsider going for a research job. Maybe you first have to do your Ph.D., but that's worth it.)

I definitely agree that you need to know what you want to do if you're going to do a Ph.D. You need to have your own plans and your own ideas. Maybe you'll find them while you're working on your thesis. (I think that every kind of career is stressful. They are just stressful in different ways. But everywhere you have to deal with conflicts between colleagues, with too much or too little work etc.)

ALSO: after reading this week's Naruto chapter, I feel SO VINDICATED for thinking Naruto's dealing with Obito was creepy. Madara is doing the exact same thing! Although with way more panache.

I just reread the chapter... My first thought when I read it yesterday was "yeah - someone at last has understood that all this chakra is evil."

Well, I guess people over at chuunin will reply that Naruto telling Obito who he is was not creepy because Naruto was correct. I guess one has to have met people who honestly believed they were the good guys (and maybe you believed them yourself for some time) who used this tactics in order to know that it is bad in principle because it's directed against the person's freedom, and taking away a person's freedom is bad in itself.

(And now I am telling you that you should become a researcher instead of working with children. Maybe that's creepy too.)
