Hurry Up, Daddy and Graduate!

Johann is checking into the various blogs and websites we allow him on right now. He’s standing in front of the computer singing. Of course, he just finished reading this Ph.D. comic….

So this is the soundtrack to my work right now (yes, I’m going crazy!!):

Hurry Up, Daddy and Graduate!
(To the tune of Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho, Mahalia Jackson style)

Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, graduate, graduate.
Hurry up, Daddy and graduate and get into graduate school.

Got to get into grad school.

Before all the money’s gone. Sooooooo…

Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, graduate, graduate.
Hurry up, Daddy and get into graduate school soon.

You want to study inverts.

Got to study the thermal vents,
So get into grad school now, you know ya got to go.

Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, graduate graduate.
Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, ’cause you know you got to go.

Two years, then we’re gone.
Got to get your masters real soon,
then move on somewhere else.

Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, graduate, graduate.
Hurry up, Daddy and graduate, so we can all go to the next stage.

Economic Crisis

As I apply for grad schools the big issue seems to be the money…
This comic strip hits way too close to home!

10% cuts came already and now the painful ones are coming… not that the 10% cuts weren’t already painful. Hopefully I can find my way into grad school despite the cuts…

Applications are in to UConn, Rutgers and URI for masters programs. Feelers went to Duke and WHOI but both of those are very long shots since the deadlines for this year have already past and they are Ph.D. only programs.
