Hello again, buddy!

Virgo bodily twinges making me feel like I am not going back to graduate school. I have way too much need to get better, and my concern for healing my body. I don't think my body is cut out for the environments of academia that I've experienced. I don't know if there is one somewhere else that would be better for it. 

It's kind of too bad because learning is fun and being around other people who are passionate about learning is fun too.

It's almost like taking a ballet class and thinking you're going to become a professional dancer, honestly.

Supposedly my chances are much better than that, being that ballet dancers have to be half my age but... I don't know. Academia just wasn't really great for my health. I love to learn, and I love to read, and I got decently positive responses on my writing but ooooh... I remember there were independent scholars sometimes at conferences. I kind of admired them. Quite a few other people with PhDs seem to kind of snub them. I didn't really like that.

What to do? What to do? Notice things. That's free. You don't need the Department of Education to notice things.
