I’ve been thinking, people keep bringing up the fact that Pacifica’s classes will end soon..or well, to be honest, it’s probably me bringing that up. I’ve got the # of days we meet, # of sessions, and #of papers counting down (15, 4, and 5).

And people are always wondering if I’m sick of the program when I let them know stuff like this. And I had a hard time answering that until I figured it out…the program is no worse/better than it has been in the past. It’s not the program at all. It’s me.

I think a lot of it has to do with NOT taking a break between undergrad and grad school. Most of these people are coming back after 10-15 years at the LEAST away from school. I haven’t had those years off from academia. I can’t wait to actually do something different(other than the diss, but that’s not an issue) and not have papers due every three months and have to be somewhere for 3 days every month that’d take me away from a job.

The real world is a-callin’, and I can’t wait.

But right now, I’ve got a monster headache from class today.
