I've wanted to, but my old p-doc and parents were really against it. They all thought the structure was good for me, and that I needed something to go to every day. My new p-doc thinks I should take next year off from school. My old p-doc says that's okay as long as I'm doing a master's for that year off (so I have some structure)..
I dunno, I'm confused about what to do.
