Grad School: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
In a discussion about the work-life balance with half of my cohort, our conclusion was that there is no work-life balance; it’s all work. Grad school is hard. I found this joke about grad-school Barbie. If you substitute a denim skirt for the jeans and a “Boys are stupid” T-shirt for the T-shirt described, it’s pretty true to my life. An excerpt below:

Graduate School Barbie comes in two forms:
Delusional Master’s Barbie ™ and Ph.D. Masochist Barbie ™. Every Graduate School Barbie comes with these fun filled features guaranteed to delight and entertain for hours:

- Grad School Barbie comes out of the box with a big grin on her face that turns into a frown after 2 weeks or her first advisor meeting (whichever comes first).

- Adorable black circles under her delightfully bloodshot eyes.

- Comes with two outfits: a grubby pair of blue jeans and 5 year old gap T-shirt, and a floppy pair of gray sweatpants with a matching “Go Screw Yourself” T-shirt.

By JC Frye of Southeastern Conference Next week’s Spring Break will give the Richmond Senior baseball team a breather from Southeastern Conference competition.

But that doesn’t mean the Raiders will be taking a break from baseball. They’ll travel to Morehead City, on the North Carolina coast, to play in a tournament there.

For a team that lost two tough conference games this week — a 15-0 shellacking at Pinecrest Tuesday night and a heartbreaking 6-5 loss at Scotland Thursday night — the break will be a welcome change.

“It will be a chance for the team to do some bonding, and have some fun,” Richmond coach Ricky Young said.

The Raiders enter Spring Break with a 5-7 overall mark (2-3 SEC). But Young said his team has been competitive in all but two games.

“With a break or two here or there, we’d have a better record,” Young said. “But that’s baseball.”

Continuing to develop a killer instinct and mental toughness are top goals for the second half of the season, Young said.

“We need to play all seven innings,” Young said.

Though the Raiders didn’t come away with a win, Young feels his team took a big step in that direction Thursday night at Scotland.

“We swung the bat well,” Young said. “We just didn’t close it out.”

The Raiders’ first-year coach has been preaching plate discipline to his team. To him, that means battling on every pitch.

Young said the Raiders can compete with any team in the conference. And with every team in the SEC saddled with at least one loss, the race is still there for the taking, he added.

“We need to keep refining our mental approach to the game,” Young said.

Despite the tough week, Young feels good about his team’s effort and attitude at the midway point of the season.

He’d like to see his team have more consistent pitching. And after a 12-inning scoreless streak earlier this week, the hitting is coming around.

Young is looking forward to the Spring Break trip as a chance for his players to get away from school and the conference race, hang out together, play some baseball, and have some fun. They’ll be staying on the beach.

The eight-team tournament gets under way on Tuesday at 4 p.m. when the Raiders will take on Mooresville.

The tournament field also includes East Carteret, West Carteret, Northwood, Pinecrest, Chester and Croatan.

I was reading up a few blogs about this kid, and a few things about him, and the comments of his supposed lovers… I’m going to try to make this idiot proof for those 15 year old girls who think he loves them:1 – I don’t care about beibers private life or who he is as a person, I don’t like his music, and his music sucks2 – If I wanted to listen to a chick sing, I would listen to Paramore, they know how to make music, and they actually sound like their gender…3 – More than half of the people I’ve asked about him, have said they like his looks more than his music, they just listen to it because they think hes hot. And yes I did ask more than just a few people4 – Those that do think hes hot, must either be peds or really creepy rapists, or just an idiot since birth. Hes like 11, his balls have not dropped (may never will), he looks like a little kid, he tries to pull of that mysetrious bad boy look, but fails tragically… if your 8 and think you love him, chances are you’ve been sucking you know what since you were little, in fact, why are you reading this, does your mommy know your on the internet looking up justin bieber? and if your like 13 or 14 or whatever, that age area, then your a ped, PERIOD. 5 – I know im not capitalizing his name, because I’ve no respect for her… I mean him… and plus, who the hell sings about stealing a girls scarf and leaving notes to get her to be with you? creeper much? I mean really… COME ON KID I think the popularity is going to his head, at least the Jonas Brothers are older and have talent… I could sing better than him, which leads me to point 66 – Im not jealous of him or anything of the such, if anything I pitty him… Nor do i think hes so much more talented than I will ever be.. I may not be the best singer, but at least when I sing I have and idea in my head what music I want to go with my lyrics, and beyond that I have other talents, such as writing, art, and other academic skills, that and I at least look like the “bad boy” bieber is trying to be, just seriously, ask about my work and Iwill show you.Last but not least,The QuestionWHAT DO YOU SEE IN HIM?the point has been brought up “why do i waste my time on this if I don’t care for him?” BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU SEE IN HIM. you know that last part of the post, the QUESTION part? …. -.-Annnnd, yet again someone thinks I “hate” him, where the hell did I say i hated him as a person? in fact, i said the opposite, i simply don’t care about him as a person. Hes an entertainer, not my best friend….

To all justin bieber “lovers”?
