Duuuuuude I know. I'm freaking out. I've been on campus since 9am and I'll probably be here until the wee hours of the morning. Gahhh :( Of all the weekends for my parents to come visit, it has to be this one.
Because of my NZ trip I'm actually leaving early for the semester. I'm taking one final next week, TWO WEEKS before everyone else. One of my profs is awesome and said I can take an incomplete and finish up a project over the summer for one of my other classes. Otherwise I would be completely fucked.
HA! And you used to make fun of me for wanting to join the Navy :-p
And you went veggie again?
Also, I didn't know that you can get a Ph.D. without a Master's! I mean I know of accelerated Ph.D. programs, but they somehow threw a Master's at you along the way (but then, that's Political Science for you :-p)
Yeah, well I'm not going to join the Navy :-) I've just hang out with a few boys who already have!
And yeah... I had turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas but that's about it since I've moved. I eat fish. It'd be hard not to over here.
In the sciences people suggest that you don't get a master's at all if you're sure you want to do your PhD and have a strong enough background. It's actually seen as kind of a waste to get a Master's unless you aren't sure you want the doctorate or if you just aren't prepared after undergrad.
I will try to write more! I like to read about you guys, so I should return the favor :-)
Glad you had fun at the ball! :-) It's interesting to read the perspective of someone who has not been immersed in the culture of the submarine force for many years.
