made it through quals and have at least a year and a half of relative low stress for a PhD.

sorry for all the random poetry, but i've been writing a grant proposal all week and will be for the next few weeks. It's nice to stop for a few moments and write something else.

We're supposed to believe in something
to believe in anything
to believe that life is worth living and dying for
to get on with this day and seek a new one.
I seek a soulmate
like everyone
but what if we only believe in falsehoods.
What if there are no soulmates
because we have no souls?

I finally got the internet set up in my new apartment and was quite suprised by the changes in the suicide girls site. I can't say that I'm happy with the excessive amount of baby pink.

congrats on qualifying.
