Where is Doc?

He posted something somewhere in here within the past week. But, yes, hasn't posted much recently. Maybe working on his next Eppie winner.
 
Is that allowed? Damn, I need to get out more.
 
Selena can't have a second life until she does my next book cover.
 
What I have here is a third life--so I guess it's not all that difficult to have a second one.
 
I'm days and days late back to my own thread ... but this is my second life. The first once was screaming at me, "Write that damned research paper or get an F!!"

Maybe what I need is a third life ....

Wait till you try grad school. Work full time, go to school full time, and spend every spare moment at the med school library. Graduation was like being released from prison.

Ahh, perspective.

I deliberately shot for B's in that situation.

A's at my school put you at the head of the line to pick classes. So I'd sign up for several labs and wait for the department secretary to call me to play LET'S MAKE A DEAL. If a course I needed was full, I'd trade the labs, others had to have, for a spot in the closed course. I was ruthless at times.

Mine was a different environment than yours. We did have one woman who would steal reference books so other students couldn't do the work. She didn't get that the way the program was structured she wasn't gaining any advantage, only enemies.

Oh! I took no hostages at the library. The first week of school I checked out everything but the commodes, then looted the medical school. You'd have hated me. If a paper required 20 citations, I cited 200 sources. I was there to learn NOT to be nice.

Ha! If that's the program in which you got your psychology degree, well, there's some irony in that.

There's more to the story. I matriculated in a 60 hour rehab program specializing in the management of brain-spinal cord injuries, addictions, and psychiatric disability; I had my hands full learning all the medical, psychiatric, and substance material. Then the psychologists inflicted their graduate courses on us and I was forced to double my coursework: 60 hours of rehab and 60 hours of graduate psychology courses or 120 hours of coursework. More expensive books, more tuition, and more time at the library. So my mind wasnt 'right' like your's, I suppose.

Sorry if my comment sounded like I was judging you - I wasn't. I just found it amusing that a program in psychology, a helping profession, would set it up so that students could become so aggressively competitive.

I dont mind judgments, I simply figured you had the wrong idea.

Psychologists are maybe the most dysfunctional group I know. Many will confirm it. Theyre terrible gossips and backbiters. And each knows he/she could do God's job better. Plus they tolerate no dissent. They severely restrict admission to their professional schools while demanding that everyone take their full courseload to qualify for licensure.

Its a racket.
