"Oh and I turned in my qualifying exam paper on Monday"

nice! tomorrow I can hand in my thesis committee form - we have an advisor but I've had to coerce people into being on the committee. Fine, coerce PERSON, one of the exercise science professors. Two people on this campus with ex phys degrees, one of them kept telling me "shoo!" basically. Very smart professor, he just does not like to do WORK, much less something extra. But today I chased him down the hall and just begged "PLEASE will you be on my committee, I need one more person and no one else around here meets the qualifications I need. Just sign the damn paper." He did :-) handing it in tomorrow.

Congrats :-)

I don't get to pick my committee for my defense. The department picks for me ...but I know one of the people that will most likely be on it is a rather intimidating know-it-all :-\ Eek!

oooh, no fun. I'm glad I got to choose mine.

2 of them have ex phs PhDs
one is a swim coach
other is an Honors professor (required since it's an honors thesis) and a competitive triathlete -thus has an interest in the topic as it's the whole swimming/aging/performance thing.

We can choose to make the defense public or not, I love attention and public speaking, I will likely have a looooong guest list :-) if you're going to do all the work you might as well show it off!!!!

For my high school graduation I wore a short red silk dress. Everyone else in my grade wore some awful foo foo cinderella style gown. when i was getting dressed to go to the pre-party, i was walking around my room with the dress on and nothing else. i did my makeup and struck many poses in the mirror until it was time to go. off i went to the party without any underpants.

i shared a limo with some friends and all the pictures taken from within the limo were pictures of my exposed crotch. Britney Spears style.

i have another, and this was not my fault. i went to cuba with friends in high school and a male friend of mine stole my disposable camera and a bunch of the guys played "mystery dick". they passed the camera around and took pictures of just their genitals, and put my camera back. picking up the photos at the grocery store with my mother is up there in my embarrassing moments.

Yes, speak your mind. Tell them that you do mind and set up some kind of agreement like he can be over only 3 nights in any week with a week being defined as Monday night through Sunday night. Also, if you kick him out most nights of the week, she'll likely stay at his place and you then also don't have to deal with her either. Seriously, it's a win-win situation for you.

you're all kidding right? there is no comparison between picking up a tampon and cleaning up an isolation suit somebody barfed in... what is with North American guys and them being freaked out by anything period-related, cmon

Thankfully, the suit didn't have to be cleaned ...one time use only. You know the white 'warm-ups' they sell at marathons that people can just discard? The suits are the same deal, same company (DuPont Tyvek), just a jumpsuit with feet instead of a top and a bottom.

going back a day or two- bout the roomie/bf situation... tell them
I had the same situation- it actually happened to be my old roomates ex girlfriend- i mean, i could not get rid of this girl- she latched onto my new roomate the next yr.
they did all the same shit you were talkin about- she even had a drawer (or two) in his dresser for her things.. and she would get up at 5 to shower and blowdry her hair so she could go to the gym when it opened at 6. not cool.
I asked them to stfu for one night, i think i had every right to- it was the only final i cared about (yea, she lived there in finals week). they proceeded to make all the noises under the covers, whispering blah blah. around 2am i got fed up (i tried to go to sleep around 12, and it wasnt happening) so i got up, tore the comforter off of them, told em promptly to STFU and walked out of the room.
came back about 20 min later, and them shut up.
by that time i was so fired up it wasnt until around 3 that I fell asleep. but it got the word out that I wasnt gonna deal with it anymore
speak up

"She would get up at 5 to shower and blowdry her hair so she could GO THE THE GYM"?!?!? Hmm...

Good for you for taking control, though. My roomie freshman year was a nightmare. She would go to classes in the morning and then sleep all afternoon ...she got pissed if I turned the lights on. At night, she would be up at 2AM watching an economics lecture at full volume, all the lights on, while eating potato chips. She claimed she did not have headphones and the screen gave her a headache if other lights were not on. She also kept the A/C on high, as cold as it would go year round. If my parents had not lived so close, I probably couldn't have gotten through that year. I spent more nights at their house than in my dorm room :-\

TC: Please speak up. You deserve your sleep, privacy, and sanity :-) Having a chat with your roomie would probably be the best bet, but going postal one night may be the only way to get through to them that you arn't happy.

Try to be civilized at first. Then, be civilized a 2nd time. If that still doesn't work, the third time, go completely apeshit batty psycho postal on them. If being calm, cool, and collected doesn't work with them, then try being completely irrational to make them listen to you.

I saw your signature and I thought you might like this (my mentor thought it was hilarious) ...a brief summary of the conversation between Felipe and I after the incident:

Me: "Hi, Honey ...Umm ...I passed out in the high containment lab today. Dr. S and Blake apparently carried me out of there, and I woke up in the hallway. They think my respirator malfunctioned."

Felipe: "Are you OK now?"

Me: "Yes."

Felipe: "Then HTFU and get back to work."

she's all ga ga and in love
"I think this is the guy I want to marry," this is what I get at dinner. Then "did we wake you up with our whispering last night?

"Yup."

"Well, I always tell him to whisper... we're trying to be quiet."

"I was very close to telling you STOP TALKING."

"I'm glad you didn't."

I have, at least, set some boundaries with the dumb "rock band" game or whatever it is. I have a race tomorrow and I said NO ROCK BAND BECAUSE I WILL BE IN BED BY 8:30 TONIGHT AND IT IS TOO NOISY.

mwaaaa.

Be thankful all they are doing is whispering. Had a roommate in college who figured I was drunk enough that since I was already asleep, I wouldn't hear anything. Nope. I'm assuming they were about halfway through when something woke me up. I wasn't sure what to do at that point, so I just slowly rolled the pillow over my ears. Tore a strip off of him the next morning.

I had nightmares about that for quite a while.....
