I completed a PhD. I felt like it was torture when I hit my third year and I had probably at least 2 years (ended up being 2.5 years) to go. I wouldn’t recommend doing a PhD to anyone who is remotely satisfied without one. But if you’re not, it’s worth the suffering.
You’ve made it this far, and you can do it! The reward is a longer term thing than the pain.
Yes, I felt like I wanted a Ph.D somewhere down the road, but 2 years in my master’s program has revealed to me the errors of my way! All I want to publish are awesome magical realist/urban fantasy novels, you can keep your frickin’ dissertations and publish or perish masochist culture Ph.D land!
I have an “alternate career.” Publish or perish no longer applies, and I couldn’t be happier with my career. I couldn’t do it without my Ph.D., though.
Do whatever makes you happy, though, keeping in mind that it’s not always what’s easiest at the time. There’s no greater investment than putting your future in your own hands.
In the famous words of Dory from Finding Nemo, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, that’s what you do!” You guys can do this, if I can do it, you can do it, & guys, I did it, so you can too! Hang in there, the finish line is in sight, just a bit further.
I know how tough it is, I’ve done the stay up all night thing to get it done, strangely some of my best work were those last minute ones, I don’t get that. Anyhow, been there, done that, got the degree to prove it!
Keep it up, you are doing great, even if it doesn’t feel like it!

This. A thousand times this.

Small comment. You might want to format the expiration date more like on the forum. Putting the day first followed by the month confuses most Americans. 😉
Congrats Dragon87! I’ll be hopefully doing the same thing this summer with a Hyundai Veloster. It will be my first brand new car, too!
CB Black! Alright!! =D
Sweet! You lucky dog!
Anyone interested in a vampire? I occasionally bite an egg with a messy lineage to stop the lineage.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/LmRu1Did anyone get a back in stock message on Friday or Saturday? Or only on Monday?
Just Monday for me shortly before Chris’ comment in the color shift curlie post on here.
Got a Back In Stock notification but they’re not in the store? Did they sell out in less than a minute?
Ditto. I’m thinking it was a mistake, as Kiya said.
Yay! I finally summoned a Guardian of Nature egg!!!
Congrats. I’ll admit I’m a little jealous. I’ve been trying since the GoNs were released nearly two years ago and I still don’t have one.
I’ve been trying whenever I remember. They are only 2 per scroll, right? Unfortunately, they’re not tradable, or I’d try for another to give to you.
