13 hour shifts should be illegal.

even with 2 breaks, they still hurt. i'm exhausted and aching, but i can't sleep. my body hates me.

i should be doing homework. i should be doing something productive. i'm apparently very much not.

i can't tell if i'm coming or going anymore. i feel all turned around, without any sense of direction. i swear, i had a purpose at some point. i think my purpose lies elsewhere...

been thinking about grad school more and more. i want to go out, live a little, feel like i haven't been trapped. i hate being trapped. i don't do well in crowded places or sedentary lifestyles. now if only i had the resources to do this grad school thing... let's forget about the picking up and moving across the country part, shall we? *thwack*

badger?

i don't know whether you'd be interested in something like this, but you could always do a masters by distance education, it tends to be cheaper that way and also you don't have to, as you say, pick up and move across the country. just a thought. also *hugs*

no, i'm actually fairly excited about the picking up and moving part. it's the expenses that aren't so exciting.

do you know of any good places to do degrees by distance education, though? i admit that's not an option i've looked into thus far...

i did my distance thing from u vic, they seemed pretty good, if slightly disorganized with billing...other than that everything was all good though. i think most universities probably offer distance and online stuff at this point...it's the wave of the future (just picture me waving my fingers and speaking in a weird voice when i say that). i agree though, the picking up and moving does sound fun, you can always finance it with a career in cat burglary...either burglaring cats, or training cats to be burgalars, works either way.

Classics masters???
I say grad school could be great and rewarding. On the other hand it is yet more school. This is where I am now. I love law school but it is another freaking three years of school!!! However, whatever you decide will be the right decision for you to make. Even if that means trecking across the country to parts unknown.

so far (and this is subject to change at a moment's notice) i plan to take a couple of years off, accumulate some money and buy a car, take a trip, relax a bit, then pick up and drag myself out to Alberta for a masters. the problem is always the money, of course...

Alberta is only parts semi unknown. Just so you know they don't plow, get lots of snow and if it's minus forty in january it is warm. However it is a beautifull place with lots of fun nature stuff and the Royal Tyrell museum. Plus lots of great government camp spots which cost nothing! The money thing will work out. I have faith in you!

yeah, i was born in Alberta, and my grandmother still lives there, so it's hardly parts unknown. Edmonton can hardly be worse than some little hick town north of Saskatoon... *mocking shudder*

thanks for the faith, i can use it right now. *hugs*
