u mean MD-PhD? thats a lot of work, about 6-8 yrs here in the states depending on what u choose to study. good luck
Master's-PhD. Instead of doing a Master's degree first, which is 2 years, then do a PhD, which is 4-6 years, you do an MS-PhD program, which some places offer, and do them both in the span of 5-6 years.
I think the best part about it (besides playing poker and having awesome food every night) was crossing the Cascade mountains. I mean, I don't think I've ever been so astounded by the beauty of nature in my entire life.
Washington is a beautiful state, I love it here. Plus, when I got back to my neighborhood, the sun was setting in such a way that it hit the trees around the hill and put that authentic "it's summer in Washington" vibe in my mind. Until then, it hadn't actually felt like summer, but now it has really clicked.
And, if anyone is out there, don't take more than what you need on any camping trip. A certain someone took 2 hours at their house looking for stuff to bring along and packing it up was a real pain in the ass. Two trucks with good sized beds had a lot of trouble getting all this dumbass shit wedged in there, we ended up putting tarps over each of the beds.
Really, just take the bare minimum and some games and shit. There are animal comforts and then there are human-made comforts. The ratio between those two should be 3:1 with animal comforts being an absolute necessity and you better fucking think twice before searching for a badminton set that no one is going to play. My friends and I ended up playing poker and catch with a ball for a grand majority of the time. That's all we needed, nothing else.
And I didn't realize until now that all I really want in life is 10 acres of woodland property. So I guess I have to get an awesome, well paying job if I want to achieve that in my lifetime. I hear that 10 acres goes for about $20,000, but then I have to build a house there and shit.

Definitely not. I've probably been camping at least 20 times (we only go when my dad has enough vacation days), but this one was really frustrating because it wasn't with my family and, usually, we get to the campground at around 3:00 in the afternoon and set up camp. We ended up leaving town at about 6:00 in the afternoon and making it to the property at around 8:00. It was bullshit. We basically had to set up camp in little under an hour.
And one of the people who went with us (a significant other of my friend's father) ended up bringing her kids along and they were fucking useless. She brought three (one of them was a friend of her son's) and her biological kids are just... I dunno, I felt my brain fry. One of them was a snot and one of them was the biggest baby you would ever see. You would guess that the was two year old by how he acted, but he was actually six. He just pouted and cried at every little, insignificant thing that happened to him, whether he got tapped on the forearm by a frisbee or tripped over a tree branch onto grass. It was really frustrating because he was just doing it for attention and, I swear to fucking god, the kid has ADHD because he would be sitting there, crying, and then he would snap back to reality and find something else to do because no one would give him the attention that he wanted. It was really pathetic.
Other than that, it was a good trip.
Edit: The kid asked for a bandaid for a fucking splinter. Not even lying.

I wish Microsoft would at least give an effort to reinforce the Zune. I mean, really, it's one of the best iPod competitors and they don't even blink when people think that it's dead whenever something remotely "bad" happens to it.
I don't think it's dead. I think it's just severely neglected. Two of my friends own a Zune, so I know I'm not just one of eleven who owns one (at least, that's what the joke is).
Who the fuck needs apps anyway? The whole thing seems like an excuse just to get an iPod or iPhone. I've never liked either products and I don't use a PMP for games, I use it to listen to my music. That's all I need and I'm not going to give up an awesome music service to pay for my music by the album (with money that I don't have) just so I can have an app that lets me identify constellations by pointing it at the sky.

This is what mine looks like.

I needed to get that out of my system. Goodnight.
I should be asleep, but with this goddamned cough I cannot.
Fucking hate calling off work though. At least I got sick time.

And what about Xenomorphs?

@ Azriel - Is this the first time you've been camping?

You can always count on me to handle the absolutely necessary job of keeping this shit rolling.
I hate stagnation.
