Retrospection is a slippery slope. Part of my trouble is that as it gets closer to Christmas, and I spend time visiting my family and people that I haven't seen very much in the past couple months, I keeping thinking back to how nice it was when I was an undergraduate and I only had maybe one project hanging over my head as the end of the semester approached, and then to how good it felt to finish my last final exam and know that I wouldn't have any more worries for the next few weeks. This thinking is toxic. Every time it hits me, I am prevented from doing any sort of work for at least the next few minutes.
Knowing that this is what it's like to approach the end of a master's program, I'm really glad that I decided not to continue on for a Ph.D.
Also, as a follow up to a previous post, thank you, Bob Stoops!
