he was right. i totally didnt.

Joie is hands down one of the smartest people to post here

I know that doesn't say a lot (website is full of idiots), but to see somebody talk down to her in this thread = fucking lol

girl is smarter than pretty much every single one of you. step off

i always thought i was a smart girl. i mean, i got nothing lower than a B until my senior year of HS, and that was in fucking AP Calculus. but i never got higher than an 1190 on the SATs. and that seriously made me feel like a dumb fuck.

10/21/2009 3:09:55 PM

Sorry for misreading then. CARRY ON SMRT PPL

hahaha thanks.

nah im not that smart by any means (i personally have a brain crush on ThePeter or nastoute to name a few)

but i do get kinda offended when people do undermine what intelligence i do have (which i think anyone else could say that too, so i dont feel too bad admitting to it )
not saying anyone did that, necessarily

Could send you a copy of my thesis if you'd like

and a copy of the abstract of the most recent paper I'm co-authoring

and then you could read both and understand that computational statistics and automated reasoning are not that far apart when you have a logic background to string them together

if i make McDanger a pissing thread, would others piss with him to see who could piss farther?

10/21/2009 3:19:01 PM

I think we should just do a "Rile Up McDanger" thread. It's just too easy.

10/21/2009 3:19:59 PM

I can't piss far at all. The one category in which women are inferior.

But I double majored in English and partying. Guess which major is more valuable?

10/21/2009 3:20:12 PM

yep

second Joie being probably one of the smartest people on the forum...

aren't you a phd candidate for Biochem or something?

10/21/2009 3:20:34 PM

NCSU was my safety school

also, the only one I could afford!

academic journals are basically a system of message boards; i am a professional troll

10/21/2009 3:22:41 PM

Lol at people arguing over who's smarter

all that matters is how much money you make

There's more millionaire dumbasses than geniuses, by a long shot

10/21/2009 3:23:44 PM

no, no
i graduated with biochem and biology (i reallllly wish genetics was a major when i was here then i would DEFINITELY have it, too, as a BS, but i ended up minoring in that and psychology)
I dabbled with my mentor/boss professor with getting a masters in biochemistry (specifically in genomics) but I really dig protein protein interactions and people.
the lab ratting job was rewarding in the end, but i was mentally drained at the end of the day.
i was taking in any really new information you know
and i LOVE learning (wow im a dork)
So I'm at Campbell getting a doctorate of pharmacy at the moment, debating on masters in clinical research as well, but probably not. i like my free time too much

I applied to UNC-CH and was waitlisted.

The only other school I applied to was NCSU.

Not taking that process more seriously (not thinking about it at all) was a big mistake. I've talked to friends about it, and they've all remarked that I had a weird attitude about college...I acted like it wasn't happening, like there was going to be another year of high school...I had "apply to college" on my to-do list so I got stoned and took a few minutes to apply online one night. I vaguely remember my parents trying to talk to me about it and just blowing them off.

Even now that I'm finally graduating, I'm still not excited. I still can't seem to care about all the organizations, opportunities, networking, graduate school, things I need to do to get a job, etc... I'm just like, "Well, college is over. Guess I'll apply for a job somewhere and take the GRE sometime."



It's like they make milestones in life so fucking cheesy that the cool kid in me opts out.

It's funny. You can see academic pissing matches that go back pretty far, actually. The most epic one I can think of was Newton vs. Leibniz.

Would you rather be borderline downs making 500K or the smartest person alive making 75

I know what you'll probably answer, so agree to disagree

10/21/2009 3:31:03 PM

it really depends on what type

petroleum chemists probably make the most, 40-50K+ entry level no experience with a sizable upswing (not like most engineers who won't get a much raise from their entry salary for a while sometimes), analytical chemists probably 40k range starting with a high ceiling as well...

haven't really looked into other kinds ever

biochem =! chem though

10/21/2009 3:31:04 PM

Uncg & app as backup

I ended up at ncsu on a whim...applied last minute

And now I'm at unc
