And trench, hell yeah brotha, go for the Md/PhD if that is truly what you see yourself doing. Because that kind of thing is for life, you know what I mean? You have to make sure you love the field. I have a cousin currently a post-doc working on her MD. She says its hard work of course, but she loves it too much to stop now. I say, find a passion, and rape its ass so hard, that when you die, you'll have no regrets. You live life once guys, live it to the fullest!!!!!

Posted 16 years ago #Sactown, the course I am taking is a 3 quarter long (1 school year) course. It goes far and wide into mathematics and its role in solving physics problems. We cover as little theory as possible, in order to move onto the applications as quickly as possible, hence I took up the math major as well. The theory fascinates me. We just went through an extensive treatment of normed vector spaces and linear algebra and applied that to problems involving the matrix mechanics interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Heisenberg.

See, that sounds bad-*ss. Year-long courses are the sh*t if that's what you want to do. I took genetics until my eyeballs fell out and had a blast.

Posted 16 years ago #Exactly! Especially since you spend those quarters with the same people mostly. So you get to know them and work on homework together. Except the one thing that bugs me is that they all have never heard of the PUTS, or even A Tribe Called Quest.
During a study session, one guy asked what I was listening to, I said "Oh dude, some classic Common Sense." He replied "WTF, why are you listening to an audio book of Thomas Paine's pamphlet?"
I invited this girl to study with me at the library, (you know how it is) and I always have PUTS/funky stuff in my ear at low volume when im studying, so people always ask what im listening to. She asked me, I said, "Some nice hip hop! Wanna listen?" She said "No thanks, I dont listen to retards attempting poetry." WHAT?@!?@ (Retards Attempting Poetry = r.a.p. -_-)
GTFO BITCH.
There is this one guy who listens to Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd and all that good stuff, I have hope for that guy.
They run around talking about how awesome Slayer is and how badass Opeth is. Now, I have my metal moments as much as the other guy, but damn, not even AtCQ?! Freakin' nerds man.. -
Posted 16 years ago #Yeah, music draws the same b.s. floating in the same toilet that holds the movie snobs, literary snobs, and so on.
Country music is for hicks.
Stephen King is for lightweight readers.
If you don't like Fight Club, you're an idiot.
f*** all that bullsh*t, you like what you like.
If you like
Now, I'm not crazy about that sh*t on the radio, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a bad f*cking idea, 'cause you lose a grip of culture that way. To use country music as an example, go tell a rap-hating, country lover that Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Garth Brooks, Rascal Flats, (or whoever else you want to mention) all sound the same... uneducated, white jerk-offs for a pick-up truck and cattle-drives. Watch them lose their minds.
Of course, I don't think that way. I actually dig a lot of that older country music, but it would still be funny to have them perceived the way they perceive MCs.
