Halifax Thread
 

Why the **** are you asking about Halifax?

Why the **** are you asking about Halifax?

Ex might be moving there.

Also, is it sick that I just washed down some Tums with cold coffee?

Yes, it is.

Why is your ex asking you for advice on where to move?

She didn't. I'm really bored, however, and figured I'd give the Poly Canadians something to blab about. I fully expect this to devolve into a hockey/seal clubbing/CanPol thread within minutes. Hopefully I can find out a little about Hydrostone before that happens...

I already saw that. I think it's hilarious. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

I assume you just named a bunch of British towns in an attempt to be funny. Ha ha.

Just went piss. It smelled like coffee and fear.

Considering I already felt bad twice during the last month or so, and spent all last weekend chasing a bug that didn't exist (but I thought it did... I am blaming the lack of sleep), I am fairly certain that if I tried to do as KH I wouldn't make it.

Are you the douchey-looking guy in your avatar?

I've done two port visits there, its a great little place to party for a weekend or so, I am not sure if I would want to live there. If you like the outdoors and water activities it is a good place to live. If you hate frozen sea spray, it is not.

For Canada...

I was in an art gallery. It's a bit difficult not to look douchey when someone takes a picture of you...http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/hm.gif Should start a pool on how long it will be before KH develops a stomach ulcer.

Probably already have one. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

One of my former roommates* days for a few months consisted of:
pork chops or burger or fries or caeser salad
~12 beers
lots of cigs
3+ coffees (he pretty much always had one until he got home, at which point he pretty much always had a beer)

He is a biophysics theorist.

We have a predefence oral that serves the purpose of separating the wheat from the chaff.

Since I've been at hopkins there's only been a single person who had to come back and do the defence again, although it happened to another person right before I got there (that person just recently ended up killing himself).

Most profs don't let their students defend unless they're happy with the work. They're the only people who can actually judge anyway. Physics is hard, and nobody understands what anybody else does.

We have to have a Dean's candidate, from outside of the department. But I picked someone from the Institute of Physical Science and Technology who is a physicist.

The worse I have heard from a bad defense is to come back in ~6 months and redo it.

I did terrible on my oral for the qualifier and am prone to not being able to answer obvious questions when put on the spot, so I am a bit nervous.
