I'm back to thinking I
I'm back to thinking I want out of NYU. Only it's not the panicky OMGMYLIFEISOVER spazzout I usually get - it's just a calm realization over the past week or so that there's really no way I can ever graduate from Gallatin, period. I spent four years fucking around without a good advisor to yell at me to pick something and stick with it, and now I have two incompletes to magically finish and a rationale and a colloquium and I just don't care. I just don't. I don't see why I should waste another $20K on one more semester so that I can get a piece of paper that will do precisely nothing when it comes to getting a job. I still want a degree - just in something useful that won't have been a tremendous waste of time. I know I'll need that piece of paper to ever get a decent job, but I need to be capable of actually getting the paper, too.Of course, exactly what that might be - considering that I hate to write, burned out in bio, and flunked out of chem - is anyone's guess. I'm sure as hell coming up blank.
