I know you've mentioned it before, but what exactly do you plan on getting your graduate degree in?

I'm getting my BS in molecular biology and statistics this Saturday. The subject of my PhD which I will start this fall is actually yet to be determined as I have been accepted into an umbrella program encompassing several degree tracks from which I can choose once I start. It will likely be in plant pathology, microbiology, molecular biology, or biochemistry.

How many hours is it till your birthday?

It's approximately 7,152 hours.

Eh, I dunno. ^_^ My matris is an ARNP specializing in Oncology. That's the direction I would go in, if anything.

Should I entirely abandon the hope of making decent money and become a piano teacher?

Yeah, if you treat cancer patients, I suppose that makes you an oncologist. I was thinking more along the lines of cancer research.

Really, career decisions are personal choices. You should do whatever will make you the happiest.

What sort of degrees would one need to earn in order to land a job developing weapons for the DoD?

Or, at the very least, a chemotherapist.

Chopin or Liszt?

Mechanical and chemical engineering are the two degrees that would probably be most applicable. You may not need a PhD, but a masters would probably help.

How many days is it untill your Birthday?

298 days.

It has nothing to do with liberality. I can tell you what I would do, but various things that have shaped my interests and priorities won't hold true for you. In the end, doing what makes you happy is the right answer.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
-Albert Schweitzer

Chopin.

Chopin.

I value happiness more than what society views as success, but I still don't know where my interests truly are. I'll wait it out, I guess. U_U

Did you choose that answer based on who the better composer is, or by whose pieces you find more pleasing to the ear?

I chose based on personal preference. I like the way Chopin sounds better.

nope! :p

I got into UCLA and UCSD... I'm majoring in Electrical Engineering... Which school would you recommend accepting and going to??

Well, he said southwestern US. That's a pretty big area from which to guess.

According to , UCLA ranked number eight in the world for electrical engineering schools. UCSD ranked 38. I think that makes it pretty clear.

EDIT: Also, congrats. Those are both good schools.

Your fav thread made on NB? Besides this one

Probably my thread that has a complete scan of the 3rd Databook (which is out of order right now because Photobucket sucks).

why do many not use condoms?

Because condoms reduce sensitivity.

I am super happy that you joined the AoTW contest, I highly doubt that everyone who has participate don't stand a chance against you. (Including myself, but we'll see.)

And now my questions:

(1) I quote: "Album's Style: Microbiology, Plant Pathology, and Other Things From My Lab"

^ This is what you wrote in your participant post, I wonder why you capitalized every word in your sentence?

(2) For someone known as one of the intelligent people on the base, you wrote your name "saaaaaadpanda", the letter S not in capital.
I wonder if you did that on purpose or not? Is there a specific reason behind it?

Thank you for reading, Sir. ^_^

I capitalized the letters in the style because, based on the other contestants, it appeared to be a title.

I wrote my name in lower case because that's how my username is spelled. As to why my username omits the capital "s", "saaaaaadpanda" looks better than "Saaaaaadpanda", and usernames don't necessarily have to follow grammatical rules.

Oh wow, interesting.

What do you prefer? :

(1) Cats or dogs?
(2) Giraffes or lions?
(3) Star wars or Harry Potter? (If watched)
(4) Beer or wine? (If drank'd)

(5) What do you do for living?
(6) What kind of type of person are you?
(7) Do you like to talk/communicate with other people? (Real life)

Thanks for reading! ^_^ (again)

Are you handsome? On a scale of 1-David Beckham.

(1) Dogs. They're easier to train, they're more loyal, and they don't use a litter box.
(2) Giraffes. They are a more unique species, and some zoos let you hand feed them!
(3) Star Wars. I didn't really enjoy any of the Harry Potter films until the fifth one. On the other hand, I actually like all of the Star Wars films... even the prequels.
(4) It depends on the occasion, who you're with, and what you're eating. For example, if you are out camping and grilling burgers with your friends, you better damn well be drinking a beer (or whiskey). However, if you're out on a date at a nice Italian restaurant, you're better off with wine.
(5) I'm a student, but I make money in the summers on grants I get for doing independent research in a genetics lab.
(6) That's a really vague question. I like to think that I'm a compassionate, intellectual, and somewhat eccentric individual.
(7) Yes, I do. I ran into a classmate at Walmart this afternoon and stood in the aisle talking for almost an hour.

So you prefer Bold or Italic?

It depends. They really have different purposes.

What's your rep power?

Mine's 10.

Are you funny? 1-10

I'd place myself at about an 8. I can make most people laugh, but my style of humor doesn't work with everyone.

Are you handsome? On a scale of 1-David Beckham.

Where David Beckham is a 10, I'd put myself at a 6. I'm above average, but I wouldn't consider myself especially attractive.

321sid. She makes a lot of pointless threads, and I don't think she likes me very much. Also, saying "BR00" all the time is irksome.

Why does my tummy feel sick after eating an entire big bag of Funyuns?

Probably because you ate too much food. Also, Funyuns are high in salt and fat.
