My love of multi-quote is so great that I am pasting quotes from the previous thread, so sorry for the exceptional multi-quote

Awkwardly:Cleaning -- I have fondly contemplated the dust bunnies in my house. I'm waiting for that magical optimal point in time when the health hazard from not getting rid of them outweighs the pleasure of such contemplation (and meticulously planning the exact time at which I will [surely not] clean my house)
|
I would like to say that the ONLY reason I cleaned (most) of my dust bunnies today was bc i was wide awake at 7am, and I am NEVER awake at 7am, and the fact that someone is coming to feed my kitties next week, and i don't want them to be horrified at the state i live in. which is rather horrid sometimes.

He's a one person cat. My cat. My boby

Boby is so gorgeous, and this couch is aptly named. My cat, Jack is the same way and I love it too.

That is my nightmare, having to talk to and attend to random people. **shudder**

Note that I did well in the program, and she seemed to like me OK--she's just notorious for being rather intimidating (and making people cry).
I'm mostly afraid she'll be like, "If you were really dedicated enough to do a PhD program, you would have somehow managed to find a job in your field by now. What, you gave up looking for a while, partly due to frustration because you got one interview for like 75 applications? And partly because you wanted to focus on your daughter? Still, not dedicated enough!"
Also, I'm probably completely insane for applying for a PhD program at age 40 (that wouldn't start till next fall)--plus one is at a rather prestigious school (the other is a state school that's pretty good, too), so who knows if I'd even get in. Especially because it requires GREs (master's program didn't) and...I don't seem to recall stuff like, say, algebra based on the GRE test book I have (not worried about the other two parts).

Umm, you rock on with your bad self. Going for a PhD at 40 sounds amazing and don't believe your stupid internal voices tell you otherwise! I would go for a Phd if I knew what I wanted to do with my life (at 36.5) and had money.

In other news, I just spent $40 on glass beads. If you want a financially lucrative career, don't pick teaching.

I'm back from thinking. Er, swimming. Same thing.... water was so perfectly wonderful. I feel so strong and competent in the water. I am master of my domain in the pool. Not so much elsewhere.

I am so jealous of your swimming ability. The fact that you can actually swim. I know the basics of swimming, but couldn't do a full lap to save my life. And that you have a pool you can go to. I belong to a gym that has a pool, but I don't want to swim awkwardly in lap lanes with all the people who know how to, and i work for the company so i generally avoid it in my non-working hours even though it isn't hte facility i work at.
I think of you often when I take my lunch break. I walk around the swimming pool and go "Man I wish I could swim like Art."
