I wish my undergrad GPA was just slightly better so I don't have to take the stupid GRE next month.

God drat it. I've hobbled myself getting proof of vaccination for OSU. They accepted the big list from my old pediatrician but rejected varicella since just having a note from your doctor saying you had it isn't good enough, they need antibody titers. Also rejected my TDAP since I haven't had a tetanus booster in ten years. Dug up a titer report the army did on me in 2008 that thankfully had a positive varicella titer, and the local CVS does vaccinations on demand. They were out of TD, so I get TDAP instead and woke up this morning with a lovely amount of swelling and pain in my feet. Then I open my inbox and see an e-mail from the school MD informing me that no, I do not need proof of vaccinations because I am a distance learner. :argh:

My wife is in BigLaw. They just sent her to Beijing for three months because the office was shorthanded. I would not be surprised if they extend her because they give zero fucks about your family life. Don't go into law.

Congrats on having a wife that makes absolute bank but you never see. At least she can’t bitch about you smoking weed when she gets back stateside outside of the 4-5 hours she’s home every night.

Also are they hiring? I’ll go live in hong kong for a bit.

The HK office does indeed need people, and that works for you because English is the language of choice in that city. You're going to need Mandarin for the M&A and good luck learning because Mandarin is a poo poo-tier language in HK.

R is a super awesome piece of software. I use it at work all the time.

EBB
Feb 15, 2005

We like it in pharmaceuticals because it's free, whereas SAS is very expensive (but still an awesome piece of software). It's very good at graphics and even does vector graphics which is amazing for posters. If you do a lot of statistical testing STATA is better but R has a broad range of applications.

Masters work is 1/3rd done. That cut between A- and A can be a giant pain in the rear end since I need enough "perfect" work. 3.8 cum right now.
