Ah, the days of my youth

Okay, I finally did drop out of grad school--at the age of 33. :)

I spent 11 years in a history grad programme without getting my PhD

If only I had seen this first...



Like many grads in the humanities, I wound up as a librarian. Granted, I've been underemployed for years, but in the long run, I think it was a better idea.

Of course, there is this:

I'm home at a decent hour!

Yay! Tomorrow I'm off at the library to go to a doctor's appointment (I'll have to get up very early), and then I have to go to work at the gas station until 10 pm. :( But on the other hand, I've been working short shifts at the store and I'm due for a longer one. Then it's back to short ones, or at least relatively short ones. Thursday's 6-9, Saturday 9-4, then Tuesday and Wednesday are 3-7. Not too bad. I just hope the new people work out okay.

Today I went to see my nurse practitioner about my meds. He's raised the ADHD medication half again to see if it will help with my focus.

Otherwise it's been an uneventful few days. It's very hot, they're saying it'll be 97 degrees by Wednesday. I have no air conditioning in the car (it got disconnected when they put the engine in or something), but at least the house is cool. It's awfully sticky outside.

Anyway, here's a quiz--one of these days I may even get a PhD, even if I have to do it as a Donovan's Scholar (it's a programme at the local university that allows seniors to go for free).

You're a great thinker and a true philosopher. You'd make a talented professor or writer.

What Advanced Degree Should You Get?

I'm going to go rest for awhile. 'Night
