I have a meeting with my thesis advisor on Monday and I’m going to talk to him about mastering out of my PhD program.

I’m writing it down so that I actually take the initiative to do it, bc change is scary but the status quo has become untenable. And it’s frustrating bc I feel like I could have gotten through, and I could have been good at this, except there’s been a major crisis (personal, professional, or global) every year I’ve been here and at a certain point the resilience well runs empty.

#should probably put together a list of bullet points so that I can actually get through them in the meeting #unfortunately my mental model of why grad school is bad for me involves vector addition #and that’s not like. a good way to explain it outside of my own brain.#also literally two days later I’m going to my undergrad institution to give a talk #and then on Friday I have a thesis committee meeting lmao #but that’s why I need to tell my advisor BEFORE that meeting #I! hate! this!
