waste

I've been in grad school for 6 years and when I finish my diss in a year, it will have been 7. In that 7 years, every other part of my life has gone absolutely fucking nowhere (ok so there are more reasons than just grad school for that, namely bad luck and a waste-of-time relationship but whatever). Thus, I would like in the next 12-24 months to: get married, travel the world, have 2 babies, get a dog, buy a house, and not live pay check to pay check. God, Allah, Buddha, whoever the fuck is listening, please make this happen. Thanks.

Realistically, although having 2 babies in the next 24 months is physically (and maybe mentally) possible, given your other requests, it's just not going to happen... UNLESS you follow my 5 step plan:

1. Elope this weekend.
2. Go to Shenzhen on your honeymoon and visit Window of the World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_of_the_World).
3. Start baby making process immediately. Hope for twins.
4. Buy a house when you come back from honeymoon. Maybe a condo or shack first? (start small then build up)
5. Get a dog from the SPCA
6. Teach dog tricks so you can win prizes from contests and TV shows like America's funniest home videos.
7. Thank me later. Good luck!

BRILLIANT! I can always count on you to have a plan :)

OMG I'm embarrassed by this Window of the World. Why do our people like to copy shit so much?

I just noticed that it was actually a 7 step plan. :)

I'm embarrassed to say that I have actually been to the Window of the World and took pictures to make it look like I was actually at those world sites.

well shit if you're there, what else would one do but take pictures?

It's really not too different from Vegas actually.

just want to say that i am commiserating with you. had a good cry the other night about how life was supposed to be better than this. am living with my parents. i used to think i could get a TT in a year. now i am thinking i should give it 5 years.

Fumbling said...

I don't think I'm even thinking TT anymore. I'm not sure I can keep my shit together for 5 years trying either. ugh.

forgot I took 3 years on my stupid masters, 2.5 technically. so 8 years, not 7. god.
