n00b Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Who else feels pretty down now? The semester is winding down meaning application activity is winding down. I was hoping to have some good news going into the winter break but it's looking unlikely now. Gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks – I’m well aware that people still use the word gay as a pejorative. My comment was meant to express surprise and disappointment that the word is still used in a derogatory sense. I guess you didn’t pick up on that?

Retsage Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 ^ Enough with this self-righteous nonsense. I've got three gay friends and I call them fags all the time. They make Jew jokes back at me. If there's no hatred behind the word, it's not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastriss Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 retsage I thought you wre asian? I guess I thought wrong I may be confusing you with schnauzr or in_valid. n00b I am with you too! Just trying to keep occupied. Where did you interview btw?

Alastriss Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 to add to that, I am feeling the blues ... bigtime. Examtime = alastriss becoming a vampire and just not sleeping at night, and coupled with the fact that I am studying by myself for most of the classes and all alone makes for a depressing time. All the while waiting to hear back from schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Woah! lol I didn’t mean for this to become a big deal at all. Though it is interesting that every single person that responded came to the defence of the guy that used gay to mean stupid… just saying. Clearly you guys are all in agreement on this so I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. Anyway in response to the OP’s original message, I agree that this time of year does suck. On the bright side, I bet this is probably the worst of it all since we’ll soon starting hearing back from places and the stress of exams and everything will be behind us.

CAS Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Gotta admit... starting to get really down on myself. I was complete nearly eight weeks ago at most schools and i've only heard from suny which was a pre interview hold (rejection). Sigh... so much time, effort and money. It seems like it'll all be for nothing. Then there's the terrible weather and the monotony of grad school. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Pre interview hold at gwu Sigh... No word from the other schools even though gwu was one of my last completes. I could seriously use a vacation. Wait, I'm a grad student so that's not allowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there were multiple ways. "Gay" suited it just fine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnauzr Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah, but calling it gay is trying to get a cheap laugh at the expense of another group. That's just a really immature way of expressing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
