      That’s not true! That’s not true at all!

      I had a colleague proofread it and my PI also read it once… probably.

      Thank god. I cannot verify the quality of that trash based on my mental state by the time it was over. I hope no one ever reads mine.

      Or at least someday I hope to overcome the PTSD and be able to read it again. In an ideal world I’d like to release an updated version/errata.

      Guys, I put GW and SW instead of GP and SP and it makes me die inside.

    lol bruh. I couldn’t get my job without my PhD because of bullshit elitism, but fuck if I give a damn about 1-electron transfers n shit. I make money by handling money and writing code. Worked out handsomely for me.

    Like Nas says: go legit. Believe in yoself. Live the life you deserve.

    When I did my master’s thesis and it was like this non stop for that last year. In my thesis defense I could tell my advisors wanted me to do another year of work, I was so absolutely done at that point, I didn’t want to spend another cent on that degree and really was ready to walk away from it. They gave me a passing grade anyways because it looks better for the school to have me graduate in their statistics then if I had quit.

        Sorry I must have structured the sentence in a confusing way, I did a full masters program, but they had doubts about the work I did and I could tell they wanted me to spend another year in the program, so two more semesters, how ever many months that is. I don’t know what part of the world you’re from or how you upper level schools structure their “year” but yeah two more semesters. I think they’re like four months each semester, so yeah that long. I was just done at that point and didn’t want to fork out any more money, honestly if they decided not to award my degree I would have been fine with that decision too, they just didn’t want it on paper someone “flunking” out of their degree program.
