Well, SC - I am teetering on the brink. It seems like I should be a lot more upset than I actually am, but I am taking consolation in the knowledge that I have done the absolute best that I could. Also, there's still a chance I can achieve the grades... read entire post

In a nutshell, school is very difficult - much harder than anticipated. I am working my butt off and learning lots, but you would never know it to look at my grades. I am praying to improve them enough to avoid academic probation. Nearly threw in the... read entire post

I am in love with the way people speak here in the South. I've had a couple of negative experiences - one involving a man wearing a hat with the confederate flag and asking me if my obviously ethnic last name was "Perder Reeken."None of tha... read entire post

What can I say? I used to dance all the time in the lab back in NY. I would dance in the clinic, and during my lectures, my students and I would take dance breaks. I have a thing for cheesey 70s disco music and, of course, salsa, so there I was, doing... read entire post

No need to reassure me here - I am not feeling guilty, just worried that I am not feeling guilty, if that makes any sense.I am tired of being the one that is expected to solve the problems. Historically, I have a hard time saying no and wil... read entire post

OK - I did not have classes today - just a session in a little while with one of my tutors. The day was productive in many ways. I have lots more clarity on some if not all of the issues plaguing me in biostats. I checked with my classmates. My probl... read entire post

I spoke with my beloved guru a few minutes ago - he's back in New York, which would ordinarily make me happy, 'cept I am in the mountains of West Bumf*ck."Yoda" was full of admonishments. I told him how upset I was at being called a religio... read entire post
