Everytime someone tells me I'm lucky that I'm smart, I want to tell them "lucky? You don't have to feel the frustration of being around stupid people every day. You are the lucky one."

Of course, it isn't about your research - it is about how much funding you will generate.
And that is, where that bra size sadly actually matters... -
NoMad141763y@PonySlaystation I thought so. They've even asked me for copies of my passport, and I'd kiss this phd thing goodbye if they weren't one of the top unis in the country.

@NoMad It just fucking unbelievable how such pricks can keep this habit up without repercussions... man, what power does to people..

I'll warn you now - you start off thinking a PhD is a great thing to do as it shows your intelligence and potential to do really cool research.
After you get it though, your opinion of yourself doesn't go up - your opinion of everyone else in the same boat just goes down. -
@NoMad I don't usually wear ones, I promise
Btw, notifications for mentions have been broken for days. -
NoMad141763y@ChioRio thanks but no thanks. I rather be a real doctoral candidate than a quack. If I can't even write a dissertation, I don't deserve the PhD. 😛

tommy15Right now someone at Google is coding something useless for us to laugh at on April Fools.
PhD applications in computer science are so fucking frustrating. I have responded to so many invasive questions so far. The only private information universities haven't asked yet, is my bra size. The only contact they haven't asked for yet, is my kindergarten teacher (And her bra size, coincidentally). The only document about a potential project I haven't given to them yet, is my freaking dissertation. None of these have anything to do with my research potential, btw. There's nothing asked of me about my research aspiration and how I actually undertake a research project.
And then suddenly it occured to me: people in Academic administration are not smart. I'm actually explaining my potential to a pretty dumb bunch (Excluding those in research, none of whom will bother with these stupid documents).
... The world seems to revolve around stupid people. Fuck.
