I was contacted by Pitt today to inform me that I have been hired as a graduate researcher from Sept - April ( i.e. the school year ). It doesn't say which lab, so I will ask around, but I hope it's Schwartz. Or rotations, but that would be unbelievable. Anyway, this explains the stipend. I think...

What question do you hate being asked? I really hate being asked what I do for a living. I am not where I would to be or doing what I like to do. I worked hard to earn my degree and have aspirations and dreams that are still unrealized, so it makes me feel as if I'm a failure when I have to respond...
How are you celebrating the 4th of July? well since I went out last night, I got to sleep well, and sleep in. It felt good to sleep until almost 11AM ( I usually wake up for work at either 6AM or 7AM depending on if I have class after work that day). However, I do have to work today. But before...

It’s been a busy one (big surprise, huh?). I can’t believe June is ending—I feel like my summer’s just starting. Just to give a flavor of the calendar for the past month, consider two flights to Spain, eight hotels in thirteen days there (don’t forget two ferry rides to and from Morocco!),...

What is your personal motto? My personal motto is never trust anyone unless you've known them for quite a while and feel that they are trustworthy. I developed this personal motto over the years as a result of direct experiences with seemingly respectable people who, turned out not to be so worthy...
What is a childhood memory that still haunts you? I was at a drinking fountain in the local when I was a child over 40 years ago, when a much bigger kid punched me in the mouth at the drinking fountain because I didn't let him go first.
