GOSH

Like most things GOSH related at this time, our Holiday Party was not heavily attended, but everyone had a groovy time and the food was fabulous. We played a board game called "The Resistance", which was really cool (thanks Chad). Everybody got to pop an authentic English Party Popper Thingy that had cute little toys inside. We wore funny sweaters and cheap tissue paper crowns on our heads.
Next week I will be sending out some news about our next meeting and how we want to give GOSH another kickstart to build membership and hence, to develop a larger pool of people who can share ideas about how they are getting through grad school and finding success in their efforts.
In the meantime, please have a safe and relatively relaxing (I'm sure you all have work to do) break and see you soon.
Remember, this is a kind of forum - so feel free to post!!
Happy New Year,
Bill Rucker
GOSH President

We're also going to play games and there will be door prizes. We'll be implanting a new line of cultured haustoria from a transgenic mistletoe/mouse invention we've been developing into your skull if you're up for it. Totally bizarre Christmas sweaters are always fun, but not everyone has one of those - but oddball clothing is encouraged.

I'm thinking that we could also make it a white elephant gift exchange. Wrap up and bring an old holiday decorative item that you have always wanted to get rid of or, if you haven'e one, then buy some $5-10 X-mas kitsch item instead.

Hope to see you. Let me know if you have other party ideas you want to do.
