How to be an illustrator. You know, drawing and stuff.
But I don't like this school so I'm not going to continue much longer.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-04-2003, 08:07 PM

i don't like where i study either, but i have to continue until i graduate

Dinogrrl · 11-04-2003, 08:11 PM

Any other graduates out here other than HT? *waves to HT*

I'm a third year PhD in Geology after having passed through a Masters (2001) at the same school. I'm an Aussie who came over here in 1999 for grad school, after doing a BScHons in Geology/Zoology back home.

With any luck I'll graduate by December 2004. That's if I pass my Qualifying Exam (and yeah, it does need capitals

), a loverly combination of writing a 15 page research proposal; a 6 hour or so written, closed-book exam and 2 hours of presentation of my research proposal and grilling by my five member research committee. I'll know whether I'll succeed or need to kill myself by Thanksgiving.

Brownie points to anyone who has a frickin' clue what the title of my thesis means:

"INSIGHTS INTO THE COKING BEHAVIOR OF SOUTHERN INDIANA PENNSYLVANIAN COALS: BULK COAL PROPERTIES AND INDIVIDUAL MACERAL CHEMISTRIES"

The degree where you learn more and more about less and less and your thesis is the most expensive book no-one will ever read. Welcome to grad school.

For the fellow grad student --> http://www.phdcomics.com

'Newton's Three Laws of Graduation' is particularly good:

I'm a senior studying MIS but I'm thinking of putting my degree aside temporarily and running off to a different university next year to study computer graphics....

I'm assuming it means the elemental makeup of coal.

Dinogrrl · 11-05-2003, 11:39 AM

Yeah it does, basically. I was being sarcastic. I definitely have some more obscure sounding paper titles.

A lot of the time I have found I have to explain what coal is. I thought people kinda universally knew what coal was and what it was used for, like oil, ya know? Apparently not, although maybe that has something to do with southern Indiana (evil grin).

**HorseTechie** · 11-05-2003, 02:41 PM

Bleah...

...sounds like you'll need allota coffee and patience to get through that one!

I guess I feel lucky in that I have to make a fancy multimedia project that more or less utilizes all the skills I learned for my capstone thesis. It'll be an educational feature on horse anatomy and basic first aid.

Dinogrrl · 11-06-2003, 12:49 PM

Yeah, your horse project sounds very cool. Unfortunately not a horse owner, so I can't be of much help, but I'd be interested in seeing your masterpiece when your done.

Hey, I'll show you my thesis if you show me yours.

**HorseTechie** · 11-06-2003, 06:34 PM

Sure!

Though... doesn't Kentucky have more coal?

~~Pizza Face~~ · 11-07-2003, 02:50 PM

Currently, I study biowarfare engineering. My hope is to one day work for the United States Military. I want to create a virus that will blister the lungs of it's victim while eating their flesh like they have gangrene. My goal is to design it in such a way, that it takes the recipient at least 4 days to die. I believe that this will teach our enemies not to take Uncle Sam lightly. Maybe next time we tell them to jump they will ask how high. If I can accomplish this meager goal, I will die happy.

*Cascadia* · 11-07-2003, 03:28 PM

I want a nice entry job when I get out.....it can be in hydrology, environmental science, biology, geology, or oceanography.

ForSquirtleMyNurtle · 11-10-2003, 03:55 AM

I am a PhD student in english/american literature, focusing mostly on Faulkner and Joseph Conrad. I'm also preparing a manuscript for my first book of poems, tentatively titled "House of Skin." It is my personal exploration of the human body in the age of technological dominance. Basically just dealing with themes of alienation from the body and my struggle to accept my self and connect with other people despite all the obstacles our technophilic cultures throws in the way. But I am also seriously considering doing a thorough postmodern theoretical reading of the TMNT original comics. I believe there needs to be more critical study of graphic novels, and I do love me some turtles (see my postings in the zodiac sign quesiton for more info on my literary theories regarding the turtle boys)

Mouse · 11-10-2003, 09:38 AM

currently i am working on my assoicate of arts in english and then i ahve plans to go on and get my major in art with emphasis on graphic design

but first...i got to pass the classes

*Mars-Chan* · 11-10-2003, 10:06 AM

My major, as I've stated before, is Music. Let me just tell you I so can agree with the other college people on this board: College life ain't as easy as I'd hoped.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-10-2003, 10:13 AM

i'm used to hang out with people twice my age, and they go to parties in school nights, but they wake up sick/stunned and still go to classes just to sleep or pay little attention, i don't know how they can live like that, i alredady get very stressed when i have a deadline, and they go to parties. In one of my classes there is lady that is 43 years old

, i could be the youngest guy in there!

*Mars-Chan* · 11-10-2003, 10:42 AM

Eh..I'm used to seeing people that age on my campus...
