Like with anything else, there’s always going to be overlap, but I don’t think there’s necessarily a connection between the two.

It’s there, at least in places, at least 5~6 years ago.

Bisexual. Or pansexual. There are sexaulities beyond straight/gay.

Toe it.

Yeah, I’m appalled to see that that’s the law. I thought you were better than that, WA.

Wow.

We need to average them.

Tough, honestly. I wish I had known what I was getting into more. (PhD program in biology.) I have some mental health issues that really flared up after starting and even with help, it’s been hard. I know I need the degree to teach at the college level, which I really want to do, but I’m just so terrified of failure.

I think I said before, but good luck wrt grad school! I hope you get in to your too picks and have an easy time deciding where to go.

I made it to the library on my rollerblades and only crashed once! I am sore as heck from the crash though, it was a doozy.

26-nearly-27 and I approve of the new language. Let the people talk! Let them say something is “daddy af!” It conveys a very particular feeling/connotation with only seven letters. That’s pretty good.

I think it’s “cue".

We moved to the Chicago area back in August, and had the worst time. Found an apartment we liked after many days, went to apply, and found it was already unavailable. An apartment that looked good at first turned out to be next to a smoker’s room and a room absolutely full of flies. We finally turned to our last…

If you like TEoAM (I did not feel like typing the whole title!), Dr. Mukherjee has a new book out about genes which is super great too. I just finished it and even though I majored in biology, am in a bio grad program, etc., I learned some new things and now have a much better understanding of the history. Recommended!

Ooof, I feel this. I had to take it twice because of the math. I definitely second an online course or other software - that’s what really helped me, especially since you could take practice tests and get a feel for the time restrains, etc.

I have a three-member preliminary committee. It was a huge source of anxiety for me (because of course, how could I bother the great and busy professors and demand that They spend their time on me?) But I had to do it, and so I did it, and the first two I asked said “Happy to!”. Now I’m anxious about getting my first…

I am so sorry about the dentist ordeal. I have broken down in the dentist chair before and it’s no fun. I also had a huge crying fit at the doctor’s on Thursday because my insurance had lapsed and I had no idea.

I love cats that get along and cuddle with each other!

Awww, he looks like a sweetie (albeit a clingy one!)

So comfy-looking!
