Hang Out and Post

[-Ryan]

I'm still paranoid to talk about anything I really need to talk about though because i'm afraid you're watching me. T-T

[Tyler.]

you can talk about it with me from 9-9:30pm PST, that's my therapist half hour :glasses02:

[-Ryan]

I'm afraid I can't, I need people I don't know as well and that forget quickly. :P

 

Wait, PST? o.o

What is that compared to NST?

[Tyler.]

there is a 0.0 hour difference between PST and NST

[livvy]

You can talk to me, Ryan. I listen well. :yes:

 

Compared to NST, that's... um... 0:00 PST at 0:00 NST.

[-Ryan]

Wait, so they are exactly the same? I'm not sure... o.o

[Tyler.]

yep, PST is California, Oregon, Washington, British Colombia, Baja, Yukon and some other places

[-Ryan]

Thank-you Livvy but i'd rather not.

 

And seeing as I KNOW another person I know will read this conversation and ask me in a convo to tell them, just don't bring it up @ person who knows who they are. <.<

 

 

If they're exactly the same why call them something different?

[Tyler.]

neopian standard time is the brain child of tnt, running at the time they use KNOW YO FACTS

[-Ryan]

OMG I GET IT! Wait, so i'm in PST time? o.o

 

All this time I thought NST was a REAL time frame. :P

[Noog]

Ryan, I'd hate to say it, but you just failed epicly.

 

...ok I said it.

[Tyler.]

You are in MST Ryan, but intthe summer PST and MST are the same

[livvy]

Wait. MST wavers between MST and PST? It's not a very ST then, is it?

 

EDIT: We've reached that time of night where everything falls silent...

[Noog]

Livvy, for some reason that quote about falling silent makes me want to continue writing a little novel I was doing before.

[livvy]

So do it! =D I'm glad if such an innocent little quote helped re-inspire you. Is it a novel you could share when you finish?

[Noog]

I just don't feel like writing right now. XD I'll finish it...I guess :P

 

I stopped writing it because of a lack of feedback :( I had a Prologue(? The thing before the story :P) written and the first chapter that barely explained ANYTHING, it was more of a character/story introduction thing, and it was a couple of pages long in MS word. I hoped to spark some interest but people either didn't read it or refused to comment.

[livvy]

Could I read it? I do so enjoy reading other people's writing. :yes:

 

I understand what you mean about feedback. That's what usually makes me fall away from a story. I don't generally write in order, so I often don't have enough to share, or if I do, no one to share it with. When you can't share, writing seems kind of pointless.

[Noog]

I don't think that I have it here. Plus, I think that the first chapter needs a bit of re-writing :P

 

I think I might have the prologue laying around though.

[livvy]

If you find it, PM it to me, if you don't mind. I'd love to read it. :) And I solemnly swear to give feedback.

[IrishLiz]

Wow, I missed a lot of posts. Been busy yesterday and today.

 

Well I'm not sure you have to go into med school. Apparently certain types of doctors can go to grad school and get a Ph.D. instead of an M.D. (immunologists being one of them).

 

I'm not sure what you're looking at... my boss is an immunologist with a PhD. The job description when you have a PhD is much different than when you have an MD. Trust me, the pay is much, much better from an MD perspective. Of course, there are many other things to consider as well.

 

I'm about to start a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I'm interested in medicine and all things medical, but I could never be a doctor, so I'm going into the research side of things. (I also like science).

 

The head of my old lab has a PhD and MD. This is becoming more common for medical researchers.

 

True, but from what my counselor told me, a Ph.D. won't be nearly as useful as an M.D., especially in terms of average salary. Plus, if you go for a Ph.D. but have most classes in preparation for an M.D. it may be more difficult to find a job since you might lack special skills acquired in classes that certain employers deem necessary for their doctors. I'm just doing general studies this year until I can choose as well. I figure it's best to take classes I know will be useful in any career I decide upon.

 

On the other hand, you could do the whole luxury doctor thing like Royal Pains. :P

 

I'm not sure what you mean... a lot of the classes are the same. One of my bachelor's degrees is in biochemistry, and the only class that I would really need to be pre-med is anatomy and physiology, which I think you have to take if you're a biology major. It's pretty easy to meet the requirements for both.

 

I am soooo confused right now. Did someone zap the HOP post and now it's confused?

 

I'm confused too. I think it was zapped as well.

 

Hissi = <3

 

-Reads BD chat-

Hm, I didn't know you could drop the F-bomb on Neo. I thought the boards filtered it... o.o'

 

FL FTW! Guess where i'd go if DC ws ever kicked out. xD

Lulz the DCer love the idea of me in a pink and purple jersey. :P

 

Really? I lurk there... have yet to see the f-bomb.

 

Anyone else think Mondays should be cancelled?

 

I'd agree to that.

 

YES!

[livvy]

I could go for canceling Mondays. I don't know anyone who particularly likes them. I used to, back when school was fun.

[Tyler.]

I actually loved today, it was filled with awesomeness and tomorrow will be too

[-Ryan]

Happy early B-day Tyler. :P

 

 

Today absolutley sucked for me. =/

And now I have a funeral to look forward too. Yay.

[Tyler.]

aw, wanna talk about it, and if we manage to talk about it for a while, I go into therapist mode in a half hour :P

[-Ryan]

No thanks. :)

Nah, besides, i'm not even allowed on after 9 anymore after my mom caught me at 4 a.m. here on TDN a few days ago. xDDD
