lots of back and forth

I left for home convinced that I should withdraw from my program and try to get into a ph.d. program at home. After an incredibly positive meeting with my advisors, I've gone back and forth about what I should do. Some days I've been totally convinced I should stay, other days I've been convinced I should leave in January. First off, my advisors

damn.. I'm not sure if it's accurate but I'm getting the feeling that you want to stay in Scotland but that is a huge amount of money, plus your bf is in the US.. really can't rationally be justified.

I looked up Arlington and seems like it's 40mins from Dallas which I remember you mentioned had friends in.. Dallas has a good airport too.

It's funny that you're getting that vibe. I actually would way rather go home, but am trying to make myself feel better about throwing away the opportunity to finish in a year, or two at most.

oh, that is weird! Oops. I guess I didn't read it closely enough and missed out that it would actually take several years in the US. OK, that does suck. Guh, it seems like a no-win situation - either way more time or way more money..

Yep, that's the problem. Going back seems preferable in basically every way except for taking way longer.
