out.

Just left graduate school. Still have to do some paperwork but that's it. I will have the option of returning next semester, but most likely won't.

Apparently the amount of time that I am willing to work full-time and attend school full-time is: Five years and one week. You know what, that's pretty fucking good. I'll take it. There are things that would be worth burning myself down further for. This program is not one of them. 

To do:

• paperwork to finalize leaving
• drown self in pokemon over weekend
• spend some time making my house the place I am living in and not the place I am surviving in
• ???

I'm not glad this was the right thing to do. But it was the right thing to do, and I'm glad I did it.

For a long time I was able to do it. It was draining but it was worth it. It has gotten harder, and the school has gotten more draining, and at this point I just can't. It's disappointing, but it's sort of a relief at the same time?

It was the same for me at SCAD. I finished there, but it was only a four year degree. The beginning was a challenge but I was able to pull tons of all nighters and still had energy - you can only do that for so long though before you lose the ability! It does take its toll and it's permanent in some respects. I'm sorry that it's felt disappointing...but it's good that it's a relief too.
