AFK

I had awful burnout at the end of my Master's studies.  Had to really force myself across the finish line. 

People have asked me when I'm going to go get the PhD.

I punch then in the face and then laugh at them hysterically.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

What do they do when they find out you punched them?

Drink heavily?  I don't know, not my problem.

Because, you know, I've seen your pic, and being punched by Beaker from The Muppet Show may not be something people notice unless someone tells them about it later.

A 45 year old man slinging high school insults is a rather depressing thing to behold.  Seriously dude, join the adult world.

You have more than enough math for almost anything you might want to pursue other than a math degree.

I am surprised you don't need more science to graduate, but everywhere's different. I would definitely recommend taking more than just one "hard" science if you can though, because they really aren't all created equal.

That said, why not a grad degree in poetry? If you love it?

I looked at the masters offered at the two other UW campuses, and both have a MFA in Creative Writing, one of them is Creative Writing AND POETICS. And I looked at the actual programs and what is required, and fuck it. That shit looks like something I might want to do.

Thanks Nigel.

Good for you.

Honestly, it's best to really do what YOU WANT to do. Not what society says will get you the best paying job. Money and stress doesn't buy you happiness. Trust me.

Go where your passion lies. Fuck whether society considers it valuable.

I've been telling myself that since I went back to college, but it's been sounding kind of flat to me this past month.

That might be burnout, a little bit. Don't let it get to you, revisit what you love during your next break.

I had a bad case of this last semester. It fixed itself over the summer and I was seriously dying to go back to classes.

I was feeling burnout lay quarter, and I thought I was good, but it feels like I started this quarter burntout even age a break for summer.

Q. G. Pennyworth

Our friends from Halifax are in town this week. One of the Tuesday regulars decided that last night was dressups, so she and I got all fancy medieval-ish clothes and looked like idiots. When the canadians showed up, we supplied the female half of the couple with a dress and corset, because we are nice people, and then her boyfriend complained he was feeling left out, so I grabbed some of my mom's old garb for him. There was drinking and I trolled him into telling the dog shit story (which apparently I was sworn to secrecy about at some point, so I'll have to convince him to sign up here and tell it himself), and the cops were called because everyone was happy-drunk talking over each other.

It was a good night.

Glad to hear it.  Also glad to hear you're safe.  Those Nova Scotians are nothing to fuck with.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

I haven't had a proper shit in days. I took some psyllium husk powder yesterday, and nothing, so I took some more this morning and now I'm feeling rumblings.

I have to walk to class in 7 minutes. Wish me luck.

This is the first time in my life that I have regretted not living in Phoenix.

Because there are doorsteps that desperately need to be shat on.
