Anyhow you mentioned miles..
and I thought miles of shit.. haha
So here you are...
you reminded me of The Quarry cd

**How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel**

She told me she loved me, Which means, She must be insane
I've had my face dragged in , Fifteen miles of shit, And I do not, And I do not, And I do not like it
So how can anybody say, They know how I feel, The only one around here who is me, Is me

They said they respect me, Which means, Their judgement is crazy
I've had my face dragged in, Fifteen miles of shit, And I do not, And I do not, And I do not like it
So how can anybody say, They know how I feel, When they are they, And only I am I

He said he wants to befriend me, Which means, He can't possibly know me
The voices of the real, And the imagined cry, The future is passing you by, The future is passing you by

So how can anybody possibly think they know how I feel, Everybody look, See pain, And walk away
And as for you in your uniform, Your smelly uniform, You think you can be rude to me
Because you wear a uniform, A smelly uniform, And so you think you can be rude to me

But even I, As sick as I am, I would never be you
Even I, As sick as I am, I would never be you
Even I, Sick and depraved, A traveller to the grave
I would never be you, I would never be you

Again Congradulations!

I do!!!

I've always had a serious phobia about schooling.
Maybe, get mad instead of letting fear take up the energy? Knock the problems down like bowling pins?

We are all glad to find an entry from you, but I am saddened to hear of the stress you've been through with seemingly only more of it on the horizon. You are a very strong woman, but it must be very tough looking ahead at what is before you for the next year and a half. Do you think seeking guidance from a counselor at your school could be of any help?

Sending love to both you and Maud.

on getting near the end! A PhD is someting to be proud of!

I'm a mother of 2 and a post-grad student & often think it is the wrong thing, but once you've started you kind of get stuck into keeping on going.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll find your life path, even if its not in academia

i don't know how long you have left, or what you were doing before, but i think you'll be happier with life once you're finished.

I'm sure no one will hate you if you give up now and pursue your degree later. Maybe later on you'll have more free time and you'll be able to cope with all the memoriztion & writing & whatever needs to be done to get a Ph D.

GRATZEE

Very good to see you back after being away so long. Oddly, I've also been absent as of late and just returned to see you've returned. Anyways, I found an old post of yours, which made me want to join this site, originally.

Well, congratz again =)
