My PI has been prefacing our conversations with “are YOU ok?” Which is so weird.

I’m not. But I would never tell you that.

I would never tell you anything personal, man.

i am trying very hard to get over the fact that i will have the same degree as

1. that one guy who doesn’t know what RNA is and has never taken a biology class

2. that one girl who didn’t actually do any experiments and bullshits everything

3. that other guy who doesn’t know anything about microbes and is working on “nigeria*” gonorrhea

4. that other girl who cries when she has to do anything on a computer and then people feel sorry for her and do it for her

5. and that one girl who complains there aren’t fellowships for white people; i have no idea if she’s actually smart or competent, i just assume she isn’t because she’s a fucking asshole

it seriously bothers me so much when i have to listen to any of them, ughgghhhhhh

* neisseria you dumb motherfucker

Got talked into the grad dept mixer after lab.

It was nice to sit and talk to some other gals in the program. But, everyone is so miserable. I suppose it’s a change to feel some companionship and be a little less alone. But it makes me feel immeasurably sad.

I’ve been on the verge of tears all day anyway but beer and sad girls is just the worst.

So I’m taking the required Research Conduct and Ethics course and slides were just posted. I guess we’ll be talking about mentors tomorrow.

Except... THEY LITERALLY SUGGEST GOING TO PHD COMICS TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS WITH YOUR MENTOR????
