my life, my pace

I’ve always wanted to be a scientist.  Science has always been my first love.  Medicine was just an extension or application of science.  At the root of it all was my love for science.  Too bad that’s all over now thanks to my major professor.  But that doesn’t stop me from declaring that I am a Scientist (by Guided by Voices). Don’t forget to send song suggestions here.

1. inspirational music for the graduate student 2.7I've got my lab schedule down to only two days a week now. But I've come to realize that even two days is two days too many. Dealing with a passive aggressive narcissistic major professor just plain sucks. Just when I think it's okay, it's not. So my song for this week is OK Go - Here it Goes Again.

2. inspirational music for the graduate student 1.16Ah, nothing like a little get-together of all of us MD/PhDers (they call it a colloquium) to remind me of how I'm not finishing my PhD this year as I had planned. And I really needed to finish this year. Because this whole PhD thing is driving me crazy. I don't know if I can last another year. The longer it takes, the more bitter and jaded I become and the less likely I will go into academics once it's all said and done (if ever). Argh, the frustration! And the song that's running through my head as I fume against my predicament is the current opening theme for another anime that I watch called Death Note. It's in Japanese and I haven't found the translation, but it's not what I would call a happy song. The seemingly incoherent rapidfire singing that this band does is so reminiscent of all of the non-help I've been getting to help me finish and get on with my life. It's the perfect song for all of the frustration that I feel.

3. inspirational music for the graduate student 2.2As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I find it really hard to actually get any work done in lab because I'm so used to doing nothing there and because it's just such a negative environment. And it's been hard to find music that can inspire me to get some work done. Nothing really works. Except for listening to my current obsessions over and over again. And right now, that obsession is Death Note, a highly intelligent and suspenseful anime that I highly recommend. I've found myself listening to the soundtrack for inspiration because it reminds me of the clash between two extremely intelligent people that happens in the anime, which motivates me to use some of my brains too. The songs are mostly instrumentals, so I don't have any lyrics, but you'll find a sample of a few of the more urgent-sounding songs in the YouTube clip below.
