evildioramaGod, God I'm just looking forward to graduating.
I'm sitting here, drinking a very good cup of Jasmine tea, sitting in my cozy, quiet apartment, just the lamp and the Christmas lights on, and it's so nice. Because I'm abjectly ignoring the homework I could still be doing.
I just take better care of myself when I work. I come home around 5 or 6, cook a good dinner, sit down, eat it, and then do whatever I want. God that sounds heavenly.
To come home every day to a nice, clean (okay sort of clean), quiet apartment. I love living alone (with the exception of Amanda and Thea who pretty much understand what I need to retain my sanity...which is basically the illusion of living alone, but with the nice option of someone to talk to). I'm just so ready to be out of academics. It's too insular an environment. I want to take what I've learned and go actually live my life.
Bleh. I don't get people who just keep going to school. A bunch of my friends are going to law school next year.....AFTER we all get our Master's degrees. They don't really want to be lawyers, they just want to keep going to school and figure they'll make more money in whatever job. OH MY GOD. What??? I don't get that. I hate school. Hate it. I love learning, but I hate school. I hate going to class and writing papers and taking tests. I love to read and travel. Law school???? On top of Graduate school? That's like wanting to have bamboo chutes stuffed up your nails AFTER getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly.....ON PURPOSE.

Date: 2006-11-17 06:58 am (UTC)I have no portion of my day devoted to myself. I can't read books, I can't go out, I can't just watch TV. I go to school all day and then work on school all night.
I always loved work. I liked working with people and it's not like working in a factory or something. You see different customers and situations and whatever happens it's still over at 5 and then you are free to do whatever. I would go home and read or go to yoga class or go out to dinner with my friends. That was so freeing to me. AND I made money.
