"Yay!" she shouts, "and, Shit!"

Yeah,

So I think that I may have just thought up the perfect idea for my dissertation.

"Just when I think that I'm out.... They pull me back in!"

On being Broke.

I am so broke. Broke like surfing the web for places to donate plasma broke. Like thinking if there are any of my possessions I can sell to make money broke. Like, fuck, broke.

And yet, somehow, I have 4 jobs and am working like, a zillion hours a day.

This is FUCKED UP. This is fucking fucked up and I'm pissed.

In fact, I am angry. Really, really, really angry. And I don't know where my anger belongs. Is this my fault? Is it the university's fault?

I am angry at the university for treating us like crap, and I am angry at myself for putting up with this. If I had known what was in store I never would have signed on in the first place. I can't believe that I signed up for this! I'm done. I'm so fucking done with this bullshit. Do I want a career where I work endless hours for almost a living wage? Do I want a career where I won't have time to have a family, much less the means to support one?
