« Exit | Main | Subbing Again: Another Weird Dream Fragment »
I learned today that another of my cohort is leaving the program. He came in to see me because of what he read in this blog, the contents of which he was heretofore unaware. He too, evidently, has been struggling with the decision to stay or go, to the point where my recollections of visiting the Boynton Mental Health Clinic seemed familiar to him. His reason to exit early (again, technically a leave of absence) is perhaps even more compelling than mine: He has a girlfriend in another country, and being apart from each other for so long is exerting some pressure for them to rejoin. Coming back for the 24 thesis credits does not appear to be any more of an option for him than it is for me.
Come to think of it, staying in graduate school was ruining my relationship too, though it did so by ruining the rest of my life first.

UB, I may call upon you to recite RT's above formula (with appropriate name changes, of course) if the going gets too tough out here.
