If you can get online (I know work is the busy), me and Jara are whinging much about the same thing. Although that probably won't make you really *want* to come online - but the offer is there! Venting! Free popcorn!
I am having all sorts of issues convincing myself that if I just get this done and over with, I will be free of this fucking degree that has been sucking the life out of me for the last few years. But at the same time, I've been in school in some way shape or form for the majority of my life and as much as I hate it, I don't know how to let go of that. Because apparently I don't know what my place in the grand scheme of things will be if I'm not a student, OMG! Which ignores the fact that I have a very content and full life without school, and my crazy academic leanings do not actually require me to be in school to be assuaged, since I work for a university and all.
Welcome to the club. And I'm in training to be a freakin' TEACHER so I'll be in school eternally.
Though it has recently popped into my head to just quit and try to work for the ACLU or NARAL or NOW or something instead...
The funny (funny as in pathetic) thinsg is that I decided some time back that I was not going to go any futher in education as a field. And yet, still feel compelled to finish the MA.
[info]poohmusings and [info]mrv3000? This made me think of you.
BWAH! Oh I so wish I had a dog to buy that tongue for. At least I now know what to buy Michelle for her birthday. ;)
And *hugs* over the thesis writing and almost non-student status. It's so weird because I'm finding myself on the opposite end of the spectrum. That is, I want to go back to school but find myself wondering if I've been out of school for too long to be able to make that transition back in. We think too much, don't we? *more hugs*

(That's for the tongue and for the school panic.)

Fortunately, you'll look back and laugh at this one day.

Hysterically, from inside my nice padded room. :)
