Feh! Half the fun of school is avoiding it. Besides, you got a new cohort of kids coming in that need a proper introduction to life as a graduate student....
> I'm pretty young, having gone straight from college to grad school,G-d in Hummels, you're just a kid yourself! (I'm over 40 so I get to call you a kid, even if you started undergrad when you were 36. It says so, right on the back of the "Over 40 Club" membership card.) Anyway...
> so if it takes me a while to settle down and find a permanent job, that's not necessarily a bad thing.Definitely. You didn't say what field you were in. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to be in one where there aren't enough faculty positions but too many post-doc positions and you can post-doc your way across the country, or even to Europe, for a few years before someone decides to let you in the club.
> SO? WHY DO I KEEP PROCRASTINATING?!!! arghBecause being bad is good =^P
Besides, whoever had the wisdom to say "The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step" didn't bother to say anything about step 2. Or 3.
NOT SO EASY AS YOU WANT US TO ***THINK*** IT IS, EH? MR/MRS/MS SMARTYPANTS!!! What a poser....
