I remember the hopeless rain that fell as I sat in Logan Airport, across from the America West checkin counter in Terminal B, leaning on his shoulder, with wet blurry eyes and tears that fell and fell and would not go away. I remember taking the empty T back, wanting to cry myself to sleep, only to be met with day after day of being holed up in the Whitehead Institute library studying 14 hours a day for two weeks straight for those dreadful quals. The rain kept falling outside, splashing against the windows, drenching me as I biked home late at night, drizzling as I went for coffee breaks around the corner, pitter pattering against the window waking me up at night.

I am miserable too, and it's not cool to be miserable during your young and fun years! Do you get any sort of a summer respite? Doesn't it suck that we've been working our rear ends off for 2 years longer than most folks? I thank GSSM for some of my burnout. I know your tests went well, but if you don't love what you're doing, screw it! Dude, you have way too many abilities to be giving your energies to something you don't even like. (I'm saying all this b/c I need to listen to it myself.) Hang in there. Wow, Shan, you sound like a law student. I am miserable too, and it’s not cool to be miserable during your young and fun years!
