Just left graduate school. Still have to do some paperwork but that's it. I will have the option of returning next semester, but most likely won't.

Apparently the amount of time that I am willing to work full-time and attend school full-time is: Five years and one week. You know what, that's pretty fucking good. I'll take it. There are things that ( Read more... )

5 years and one week is a pretty damn great run if you ask me!
If you'd like a hand with housey things or want me to bring over some foods sometime soon let me know~ I'll remember no potatoes this time XD

Yeah, I'm trying to think of it as wow I did this incredibly hard thing for five years instead of I failed at doing this incredibly hard thing. We'll see how that internal messaging goes.

I'd love to have food together again and if you want to help me organize my house for some reason I'd totally be down with that too :) In general we should definitely hang out!

Yes, listen to the words you are telling yourself! What you did for so long was incredible. *_*

Lol I guess that was weird to offer, I just got back from moving/setting up from brother's apartment in Flagstaff so I'm still in that mindset. But let me know when you'd be free for dinner soon, you still need to come over and meet my cat, I know he'd love you XD

Many hugs and skritches. I am in favor of you generally continuing to do things that make you keep being more awesome; stressed and exhausted and unhappy is not the same as that.

Many many <3.

yeah lately school has been getting in the way of BE MORE AWESOME and that's kind of telling.

I have to go to campus to finish some things up around the time we'd be on the phone; I'll text you and we'll figure it out? (... I guess you probably won't see this until after work. Well, maybe you check email over lunch. :)

Good luck. It sounds like a tough decision.

I'm glad you made the right call, and I'm also sorry it came down to this. I'm sorry your program turned out to be a bag of dicks. But mostly, I'm so happy for you that you made a tough decision and are taking care of yourself. <3

The largest satchel full of junk you'll ever see, seriously. Part of why I left, though, is that right now even if it weren't so horrible I don't think I could pay what it would cost to do it. It's just that right now the math is so obvious. :/

Thanks. <3
