thank you. thank you thank you thank you.
when i decided to quit grad school i had SO many people telling me that i screwed up, to "rethink" my decision, not to "throw it all away." to "tough it out." i forget what else. it just really brought me down, anyway.
i worked DAMN hard for my degrees that i DO have (let's thank mania and hypomania for them, too!) and you're right. i think that college (grad school, whatever) isn't an option for everyone. which means i don't think you're a failure either.
in fact, this whole thread makes me seem whiny, now that i look at it. i'm sorry for that. that wasn't my intention at all. i guess i was just feeling pretty down. i couldn't see the big picture.
isn't there some history in the world about scientists being insane? maybe it's just a sign i'm following history. maybe i'll win a nobel prize. (HA!! As if!)
