So I agreed to read Atlas Shrugged because a dude I know (and would often get into political "debates" with) suggested it to me as a project I was doing.
But since then he flipped out on me and then defriended me on Facebook (I know, I know) so I don't feel like reading it anymore.
Is there any reason I should continue to do this? At first I agreed to do it on the basis of "if I know why he read/liked Atlas Shrugged I might be able to understand his point and then be able to argue against it better." Now, though, I don't feel like there is much of a point other than being able to brag about actually finishing it.

I have read it two times! You can have both if you like.
I wrapped up my undergrad experience a few years ago getting a BA in English and Philosophy, so as you can probably guess my current occupation has nothing to do with either. I'm now currently working in Higher Education at a University in the Northeast and I'm responsible for 250 freshmen... this past year taught me things that being a Resident Assistant would have never prepared me for.
Like how does one deal with a student who has a .392 BAC level? And then call their parents at 3 in the morning to let them know that they're alive somehow...
It was a mix of crazy, scary and hilarious, but it was pretty awesome and I'm doing it again this year.
Oh no I met them at the hospital, the student was somehow still conscious which was amazing... But the student mistook me for a fellow student and pleaded with me to try and escape with her. It was espcially interesting when she got out of the medical bed, ducked behind a chair and said that she's now invisible to the police officer who was still trying to get information out of her. It's really difficult being an advocate for a student when they then proceed to run out and get restrained to the hospital bed just so we can administer care
just witnessed some good prof-on-smartass-kid owning
he was trying to explain vector area, which kind of involves projections but not really and while he was thinking about it the smartass said "Projection's a good word" and he replied with "It is thank you, I'll use it next time it's relevant" and everyone laughed

Orientation is over. During registration my computer browser conked and would not let me log in. I lost enough time that I could'nt get the classes I wanted. I still have enough credits but one class doesn't even count towards my gen ed requirements so I am not really happy about the class schedule I have. And everyone else in my orientation group got those classes I wanted

It is essentially inevitable that someone will drop.
At my university there was a waitlist that you could put yourself on and when enough people dropped it would enroll you.
I would try doing this.

Once I get home I will try doing that.
The day before when I saw the ancient, shitty looking laptops we had to use I said, "I feel like it will work against me."
but I thought the fritz-prone trackpad would do me in.
Almost anything will fly in a mass spec, which adds an extra level of difficulty to analysis - you have to separate useful stuff from the floor cleaning product and someone's shampoo.

Sure, but you have to attach a charge somewhere on that thing and lipids are pretty greasy. The acid on the end is enough to get that to go in negative mode?

Do you have a 24/7 Desk in your residence hall? If you're cool with your RA or head of hall... you never know what you could accomplish.

Biomedical Engineering -> Bioinformatics -> Computational Mass Spectrometry
Applying for a PhD starting in the winter in the same topic / with the same supervisor, which is even more exciting!
And I'm like fuck, can't I at least start the program first before I decide to dedicate myself to even more schooling.
No, this is unacceptable.
Protein work?
3 HDs and a distinction (three 7s and a 6)
couldn't have done it without you, school thread.
