Blah, every time I think I've got things figured out here comes a big ol' speed bump. I'm doing lit. Gonna get a nice MA in lit. I'm not going to stop there, cause I'd starve. From there, PHD in something else creative writing? rhet/comp? more lit? I don't fuckin know. But I DO know this. I sat way too long utterly paralyzed. It was advanced math in 7th grade all over again. You know, how the teachers/councelors tell you you HAVE to get into advanced math, so you can do algebra early, so you can go farther in math, so you can get a good job, ohgodohgodohgodifyoudont you ll die PENNILESSANDALONE!!!!
An MA in english is fucking starvation. You have to work your dick off and impress some people so you can go on to PHD it up. Period. Thats what I'm going to do. I don't care if I chose the wrong degree. I don't care if Ypsi is some sort of purgatory I've stumbled into. I'm happy here. I like it here.
