the high of being called dr. better fucking be worth it.
yes, the curse words have come back to this blog. (did they ever leave?)
btw. being a phd student sucks. i mean, if you are reading this blog and contemplating being a phd student, don't do it. really and truly. just step away from your application and go find a job. the worst job you find will be better than a phd program.
today i had flash backs to a conversation i had with a friend mk. mk gave maj so much wisdom as she was starting LEAD and i was fortunate to get to know her during my short tenure at LEAD. i spent a lot of last summer debating about whether to come to usu or to stay and try to fund myself a position at LEAD. mk said something along the lines of 'go and try it, i wish i had had the chance.' today as i revisited that conversation i surprised myself with the thought that mk was wrong. i even contemplated calling her and telling her that, and then asking for some wisdom. and then i started crying (like i am now).
i hate this process. i really do. but, see i remember growing up and my dad telling me that i quit things. well, at one point i decided that dad was right and i needed to quit quitting. so, unfortunately i can't quit. and so i'm just left to sit and suffer and warn others.
don't do it. just don't do it. it sucks, it sucks royally.
