TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Looks like I'll be heading back to grad school. All I have to do is apply, and I'll be starting with a research assistantship and program funding in the fall.

Good for you, Kai.  I'm glad to hear you're going for it sooner rather than later.

Awesome, Kai!

My dissertation will be dealing with the funded project, which is to say, I really shouldn't say. What I can tell you, is it will be concerning the taxonomy and systematics of a particular group of insects, one I haven't worked with before. Exciting.

Also, thanks for the book recommendation.

If I didn't have a wife and family I'd throw in for a PhD too.  But, I think there would be a family mutiny if I signed up for more school. 

Congrats and best wishes Kai!
