woohooo back to school!
yes, I was one of those children who couldn't wait for summer to end and to be able to go back to school. I love getting new school items--notebooks, pens, bags, books, star-shaped post-it notes...
My class isn't until 7PM tonight and I'm already anxious to go! I just love the anticipation, meeting new people, taking notes, reading assignments, writing super long papers. I know, masochist, that's what you are thinking.
I just love how I feel when I'm in the thick of research, when I'm writing and creating and learning. Maybe someday I'll go for my Ph.D. after all...teaching college would make me happy happy happy. Then again, I couldn't afford to pay off my student loans if I did that, sigh. Talk about a conundrum.
Guess I'll need to keep working on that plan to become independently wealthy...

/nod about the doing what you love vs trying to pay bills
I don't want to do rural medicine for the money (cause there isn't any in it) I want to do it cause folks will pay me in eggs and repairs and me 'n the local vet can trade services probably. Well Canada has social medicine so I'd be getting paid anyhow, but somehow actually knowing my patients makes the money just a bonus to the work.
k I'm rambling near-incoherantly but I know you understand.

I completely empathize--I think I feel EXACTLY the same way about everything you just expressed. I'm ready for the PhD, but NOT the debt. (My God, haven't I enough already?) Wish there was a way I could get paid to be a professional student....
