Ask Slashdot: Advice For Summer Before Ph.D. Program?

Posted by samzenpus on from the work-or-play dept.

First time accepted submitter tookul03 writes "I'm a graduating senior from a small New England liberal arts college, and have secured a spot in a Biological Science Ph.D. program for the next five years. I realize this coming summer will be my last out of the lab for a long time and am not sure If I am interested in doing something related to my research interests or use it as an opportunity to find some new hobbies/interests. I figured the Slashdot community had a number of individuals who were/are in a similar position (albeit different fields) and could shed some light on things they (or others) had done. Thanks."

    It's never too late to go back to middle school; hopefully, this time they can teach you that commas don't go before "and." :p

      Let me guess: modded-down by a Bard or Simon's Rock grad (or similar ilk) and they're blaming me. It's not my fault that their parents paid too much for their tuition and the school didn't even have the decency to throw in a free "K through 8th" refresher class. :p

    In 1 Word => YES!!! A smart young "stud" can find 100s of guys to suck his cock => craigslist m4m "no-strings" attached. (no women, either!) Even an "old fart" like me can get laid @ least once / day &/or night.

    PS => if u want 2 "ride" my "hershey highway" let me know!
