god lawd jezus yall save me from my self
I dropped out of my phd program in may 2021 to leave with a masters and I AM A HAPPY CLAM
it was the best decision of my life, I love my new lifestyle, I love my job, etc. etc. etc. people judged me cuz I had passed my qualifying exams and whatever idgaf about them. i dont want to do research, no interest in it, etc.
all the power to people who wanna do that stuff but it isnt for me.
I had written a few manuscripts during my time in grad school. one of them ended up being passed on to someone else in exchange with me not being first author and them getting to be first author (obviously that is fine with me, i dont wanna do research!). i was and still am happy with this arrangement as it has been taken out of my hands completely and being a middle author is fine with me
the other one didnt have other co-authors suitable to pass the paper to. so i am still first author. it was rejected like twice and tbh I thought it would never get potentially accepted anywhere.
well, fuck me, because we actually found a journal that would take it but it needs major revisions and i have thirty days to do them
many problems with this
- bruh, i left grad school to get away from this shit
- i dont even understand my research anymore. it is unknown if i understood it at the time when I was in grad school. i have minimal memories of grad school as it was survival mode 24/7
- i have no idea how my code worked or if i can even find the most up to date version of the code
- i also dont even possess a copy of matlab anymore but that can be solved since the free trial is 30 days
wtf how am i gonna do this
ever since grad school, the most stressful stuff i had to deal with were my running injuries (actually pretty stressful) and my two car accidents (stressful but neither were my fault and in both cases my car was still drivable so no time pressure just annoying)
i am unprepared for this ~!!!!!!! i am meeting my advisor tomorrow (SUNDAY) in the afternoon lord
