 [07:49]  well, my mom asked me to make her a shopping list. so, i did, and put kitten on it again. we'll see how that goes :3 [07:49]  xD [07:49]  good luck [07:50]  156th times the charm right! ^-^ [07:51]  absolutely [07:51]  hasn't quite worked the last several years, but hey maybe persistence will work [07:52]  I put a star next to it instead of the usual bullet point so... who could resist that [07:52]  i couldnt [08:26]  morning marc [08:26]  Morning [08:26]  I'm free and alive again [08:26]  how's your weekend [08:26]  Bachelor thesis done [08:26]  oh that's always a good feeling [08:26]  oh wow [08:27] <Marcel77799> Yes, finally it's over [08:27] <BusyCityGirl> that sounds difficult and important [08:27] <Marcel77799> It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work [08:27] <BusyCityGirl> do you have to like do original research and stuff? [08:28] <Marcel77799> Important yes, difficult not that much [08:28] <Marcel77799> I did a ton of experiments, yeah [08:29] <Marcel77799> Some worked and others did not but overall it was oretty successful. We found a new isoform of a gene which is way more than I ever expected. [08:29] <BusyCityGirl> o.o [08:29] <BusyCityGirl> well that's cool I'm sure [08:31] <BusyCityGirl> is a bachelor thesis like your opinion/findings on a certain topic to show your abilities and such in that field? [08:32] <Marcel77799> Well, not exactly [08:33] <Marcel77799> You go to some research group and ask them whether you can work with them for your thesis [08:33] <Marcel77799> They usually offer you a project in the context of their research. [08:34] <Marcel77799> You then work 15 weeks with those guys and do all your experiments trying to find something new [08:35] <Marcel77799> And in the last two weeks you basically write down your eesults and discuss them in the context of what is slready known [08:37] <BusyCityGirl> huh, that sounds challenging, but pretty cool hands-on too [08:37] <BusyCityGirl> we have to do something similar our senior year [08:37] <BusyCityGirl> which, since I started late, I don't have to worry about for a while x3 [08:38] <BusyCityGirl> but wait, isn't it summer? you have school stuff outside the school year? [08:38] <Marcel77799> We have a lot of hands on experience in our programm which is also very helpful [08:40] <Marcel77799> I mean our semester schedule is slightly shifted anyway. We always start in April and October but we it's pretty much summer break since a months or so [08:40] <Marcel77799> But that doesn't matter. We also have to do our lab rotations in the "break" times [08:45] <BusyCityGirl> nice! i wish more programs would do hands on stuff. one of my schools does, but it's never in useful ways i feel like [08:47] <BusyCityGirl> woah that's quite different. I'm in 2 schools which do schedules differently. one is on a quarter system, starts in september, has three quarters, and gets off end of May for the summer quarter off. and my other school does semesters, also going september-mid may, but they have a couple week break christmas-late january [08:48] <BusyCityGirl> nothing during the summer unless you take summer classes... or like me were in the hospital too much to keep up and so have carry over summer homework xP [08:54] <Marcel77799> Well, officially there are no real breaks anyway except for Christmas and Easter [08:55] <Marcel77799> They call it lectrure-free time here, meaning no lectures and seminars but usually there's still quite some other stuff to do then [08:57] <Marcel77799> O/ [08:59] <The Last Booker DeWitt> o/ [09:00] <BusyCityGirl> wow that sounds stressful [09:00] <BusyCityGirl> i feel like my mind would be crying for a break xP [09:00] <BusyCityGirl> [09:00] <BraveNewRoyalty> yo [09:02] <The Last Booker DeWitt> feel like trash [09:02] <BusyCityGirl> is that typical then? or just like how your school does things [09:02] <BusyCityGirl> lcf, why do you always have new names [09:02] <BraveNewRoyalty> sannse [09:02] <BusyCityGirl> xD [09:02] <BusyCityGirl> of course [09:03] <The Last Booker DeWitt> hyperflash always rats me out [09:03] <BusyCityGirl> hm [09:03] <The Last Booker DeWitt> so i have to make new accounts even though my gblock expired!!! [09:03] <BusyCityGirl> i haven't seen him around anywhere in a while [09:04] <The Last Booker DeWitt> he just goes on central [09:05] <Marcel77799> You get used it, I guess @BCGirl [09:06] <Marcel77799> It's also something specific for our program, not for the university in general [09:12] <BusyCityGirl> hm. I guess i haven't seen him there in a long while either [09:12] <The Last Booker DeWitt> arghgh [09:12] <BusyCityGirl> ah okay @marc [09:12] <BusyCityGirl> so wait, then do you at least get done a year earlier or anything? [09:13] <BusyCityGirl> oh wait are you already finishing if you've done your thesis? [09:14] <The Last Booker DeWitt> i got stomach acid in my NOSe [09:14] <BraveNewRoyalty> let it all out [09:15] <BusyCityGirl> oof that sounds unpleasant s: [09:15] <BusyCityGirl> are you sick? [09:16] <The Last Booker DeWitt> every day [09:16] <The Last Booker DeWitt> ive been feeling bad for over a month [09:17] <BusyCityGirl> what that's terrible [09:17] <The Last Booker DeWitt> it's likely psychosomatic so it's here to stay [09:18] <BusyCityGirl> mm [09:18] <BusyCityGirl> that's even worse [09:19] <BusyCityGirl> don't having something to help that? [09:19] <The Last Booker DeWitt> no [09:19] <The Last Booker DeWitt> there's only one way to cure it and i'm probably not going to get it [09:20] <The Last Booker DeWitt> practical cure anyway [09:25] <BusyCityGirl> hm, well I don't imagine your nose will be too happy if that keeps up too long [09:27] <The Last Booker DeWitt> yeah im gonna go pour water in my nose to flush it out [09:32] <BraveNewRoyalty> have you ever done those teapot things [09:32] <BraveNewRoyalty> or is that what you did
