Observation #1

So you know how they say that you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family? I think the same can be said of grad students. Even in a school as large as Berkeley, there are very few grad students in each department, and there are fewer still at UAF. And we have to work together, share office space together, and spend copious amounts of time together. We're pretty much stuck together, so we may as well get over the parts of each other that we don't like and just damned well get along.
