PhD from USC my ASS. No doctoral student sounds like a piece of shit like that in her blogs!
Like one of the replies said, I don't know what's more pathetic -- her begging for money for her fucking cell phone... or the fact that these guys are actually willing to give her money.
Cell phones are a luxury, honey. When I think of charity to the needy -- I think of a single mom trying to raise and feed her kids while working 3 dead end jobs and that's still not enough.
Tragic indeed.
