Kobe doesn't pass

Oh Kobe, if you didn't come across so arrogant, I would probably like you better. I hope the Lakers lose.

There's a flood coming

My mom refuses to get on Facebook too. Hopefully she doesn't miss the boat.

Oh Toto

Busy day at the hospital so I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. Sorry.

Facebook

This is how I feel some mornings when I open up my Facebook...

Ice rescue

I'm pretty sure this happens in my house a least once a day. Now I know the truth.

Little downer

A little motivation to get you going on this beautiful Monday afternoon. Here's to another great week. Reach for the stars.

Oh Hippo

Doctor jokes

You're probably thinking, "Another doctor handwriting joke? Kind of a one-trick pony isn't he?"

Sigh. You people. There's just no pleasing you. Take the free laughs and go complain to someone else.

I hate when I see these on FB

I get all mad inside when I see these on facebook. "If this post gets 1000 likes, the National Association for the Preservation of Mentally Unstable Wombats will donate $500 to save a wombat." Or better yet the cutesy, "A mom is someone who is kind and caring and cooks bacon for breakfast. Repost if you have a mom too." Ugh, I throw up a little every time I see one of these on my newsfeed.

Repost if you have an awesome doctor.

How to write a paper for college

First of all, picture is unrelated.

Second, on to the actual post. When I was in high school, a 3 page paper felt long. When I was a freshman in college, 5 pages felt long. By the time I graduated, I would start to write a 10-15 page paper 2 hours before it was due. Here's what I used to make my papers sound more official:

“IT HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN”… I didn’t look up the original reference.

“A DEFINITE TREND IS EVIDENT”… These data are practically meaningless.

“WHILE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS”… An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published.

“THREE OF THE SAMPLES WERE CHOSEN FOR DETAILED STUDY”… The other results didn’t make any sense.

“TYPICAL RESULTS ARE SHOWN”… This is the prettiest graph.

“THESE RESULTS WILL BE IN A SUBSEQUENT REPORT”… I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded.

“IN MY EXPERIENCE”… Once

“IN CASE AFTER CASE”… Twice

“IN A SERIES OF CASES”… Thrice

“IT IS BELIEVED THAT”… I think

“IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT”… I polled my roommates and we reached a consensus.

“CORRECT WITHIN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE”… Wrong.

“ACCORDING TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS”… Rumor has it.

“A STATISTICALLY-ORIENTED PROJECTION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE FINDINGS”… A wild guess.

“A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF OBTAINABLE DATA”… Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over a glass of Mountain Dew.

“IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PHENOMENON OCCURS”… I don’t understand it

“AFTER ADDITIONAL STUDY BY MY COLLEAGUES”… They don’t understand it either.

“THANKS ARE DUE TO JOE BLOTZ FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE EXPERIMENT AND TO CINDY ADAMS FOR VALUABLE DISCUSSIONS”… Mr. Blotz did the work and Ms. Adams explained to me what it meant.

“A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AREA FOR EXPLORATORY STUDY”… A totally useless topic selected by my professor

“IT IS HOPED THAT THIS STUDY WILL STIMULATE FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN THIS FIELD”… I quit.
