I'm a graduate student studying Linguistics, especially Philology, in the Washington, D.C. area, working towards my Ph.D., and am originally from Québec City. In a general sense, I'm focusing on the use of modern technology to analyze historical documents. My undergraduate degree is from M.I.T.

My Definition of Wikipedia

edit

Wikipedia:
A procrastination device, especially useful because unlike games, it can be hidden from your screen in a second when your advisor walks by. Along with webcomics and free MMORPGs such as RetroMUD and The Kingdom of Loathing, it can also serve as a useful distraction while your data compiles or your experiment runs.

Late-Night Fun

Q: It's Saturday. It's 12AM. Do you know where your grad student is?

A: Of course I do. She's in the lab, either compiling data, running an experiment, or doing her advisor's work for him.
