I hate research. Did I
I hate research. Did I mention that recently? Saturday when I was talking to one of my co-workers, he told me he was crazy busy and couldn't come out with us b/c he had to write a paper. I dunno why, but I assumed that he was older than me (maybe because of the way he looks, I'm not sure), but I just found out by reading his bio (ok, so I was bored, I won't even deny it), that he's actually the same year as me. Argh. I feel so behind. Everyone says that the first semester is not supposed to be so research oriented, but I feel like everyone around me is writing papers while I am floundering in the sea. Is this my competitve nature kicking in, or do I just really suck? I mean, out of the six incoming grad students, four of them are writing papers...wait, one already got accepted, and I barely even have a research topic. It makes me so frustrated. I feel slightly incompetent. Ugh.
