I understood ya the first time around. Either even your nonsensical stuff makes sense, or I'm really good at reading babble. Of course, I do deal with the public. Nope.

One of my sentences made no sense whatsoever. I meant, "Certainly, that's not a significiant reason to avoid graduate studies in any subject..." Oops. One of my sentences made no sense whatsoever. I meant, “Certainly, that’s not a significiant reason to avoid graduate studies in any subject…”

I'm going to my happy place now. My little pony, my little pony... My little pony and meeeeee (and I'm totally caught up with my work for the next, oh, 20 hrs or so. One more project and a 15 page paper and the term is blessedly o-v-e-r). I totally fear the nerds, dude. There's something weird about EVERYBODY in grad school. And if they're not physically weird, they have really annoying voices when you talk to them on the phone. I think there HAS to be something wrong with you for going to grad school, myself in included. I mean, we were done. We started, then we finished. Do I need a third piece of sheep skin?? not really. Of course, I don't not need it either. AKK?? what was I thinking!!?? (nevermind--I know what I was thinking. the words "anywhere but here" factored into the whole sollilquy going on in my noggin) …but…the flashbacks!!

The fact is that only a certain percentage of graduate students act that way. Certainly, it's no reason to be any significant reason not to pursue graduate studies in any subject. Because that is what you do. You study. I think you both are taking this much too seriously. The fact is that only a certain percentage of graduate students act that way.

That's definitely part of the reason I never went on to grad school. Plus, the idea of spending another 2-4 years sitting in classes made me want to do bad things to myself. I think I burned myself out in undergrad. My entire senior year was spent waiting to finally get into the "real world" and do something. Oh, the academia.
