Ask me. Ask loosi. As the handful of other people who went through it.
It's like, harder than Ninja Gaiden II.

Hey, I resent that. I beat it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:35 22
- I can't figure out what it is you resent. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 07:57
- I didn't say you didn't. -- nm - nubby Apr 21, 07:38 20
  - not that I want to get ANY further, but academia is a special hell. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:39 19
    - would you please just stop it and let me have my day? Can my job please not be about you? Please? Just this one thing. Let me have this one thing. -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Apr 21, 07:44 1
      - hey, congrats! (did I read correctly that you will be in MD for 9 months?) - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:45
    - So...you concur with Nubby's initial post that a) you beat grad school and b) it was hard. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:40 15
      - absolutely. I did not go to the same kind of grad school as mandy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:40 14
        
        (waiting for everyone to take that totally wrong) -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:41 13

        it's very difficult not to, sadly. it is different, just like it is different from med school. that is all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:44 2
        
        so what? this is sort of irrelevant. - Andie Apr 21, 07:46
        
        But right now it really doesn't matter. - kelly Apr 21, 07:46
        
        Maybe you should edit it then. It sounds demeaning and arrogant to me. I think you mean "We took different programs." but I could be wrong. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:43 8
        
        Mandy is in professional school. I was in academia. they are completely different. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:43 7
        
        But not necessarily a distinction that needs to be drawn on the day of her victory, possibly. -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 07:44 6
        
        My point precisely. And I'm employed in my field, which might indicate a different kind of "beating." -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Apr 21, 07:46 3
        
        mandy, i hope you raise your sword of triumph and let it glisten in the sun as you look back fondly on the war you have just conquered. - TFox Apr 21, 07:48 1
        
        ideally, coated in the blood of your enemies. take that, enemies! -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 07:56
        
        which is awesome. congrats on your job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:47
        
        I did not say better or worse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:45 1
        
        But we all know what you mean. "Look at me. I'm better and super smart." -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:47
    - ps. congrats to mandy for her success. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:39
Even art grad school? -- nm - lileve Apr 21, 07:34 2
- well, real grad school anyway. :) - mafic Apr 21, 07:53 1
  - I don't think I'd have survived art school. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:54
