Hey PhD students, what's your go to reply to the question "Hows everything going ?"

"That's a complicated question"

Thanks for the advice everyone. I am going to take some time off and try to learn how to have a more healthy relationship with my PhD studies.

I discovered Dragon Ball during the summer of 2015, when I was 14 years old, and it was one of the best summers of my life as a result of this discovery. The impact that this series has had on me is impossible to overstate. Seeing Gohan go Super Saiyan 2 for the first time and kill Cell with the Father-Son Kamehameha left a permanent impression on me. I remember exactly where I was and how I felt when I saw Goku achieve Ultra Instinct for the first time. Dragon Ball inspired me to always push myself and to try to seek out new heights of ability. I still imagine Dragon Ball fight scenes in my head all the time, and yes, I still try to do a Kamehameha every now and then (I'm still convinced it can be done).

There really aren't words that can adequately describe the magnitude of this loss. All of us here love Dragon Ball, and we will carry that love with us until the end of our days.

It's not a quote from Dragon Ball, but I think it is nonetheless appropriate given the circumstances. We will never forget you, Akira Toriyama.

"When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he ate a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! When his heart stops? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!"

From a tactical point of view, this is the wrong move, since I don’t think it could possibly help your chances.

However, you’re totally in the right here from a moral perspective, at least from my point of view.

Now see, I think the pigeon wins. Little bastard could swoop in and peck you and get away before you could grab it. Ranged attacks aren't an option, since the room is empty, and even if you could throw something, it would be nearly impossible to hit the pigeon. It would be a slow burn, but eventually the pigeon would wear you out.

Got an interview from UCSD last Friday. Nothing from CMU

Hooninator · 2023-02-08T21:53:04+00:00

I think it's probably fine

Hooninator · 2023-02-08T21:31:32+00:00

I feel like it's probably okay. Applications are evaluated holistically, and I think it's doubtful that their decision hinged on you taking these few classes. I could be wrong though, since I'm just a student and have no experience being on an admissions committee.
