It came at the right point in my life. I'm currently a semester away from my M.A. in English. I planned on going straight into a Ph.D. program afterwards. I loved my first year, but this past semester, it's become painfully clear that I don't want to do a Ph.D. right away, and possibly not ever. Plus, although I don't like moving, I feel a strong need to leave my hometown for somewhere warmer, more liberal, etc. I've been worrying quite a bit about whether I actually should do a Ph.D., whether I should stay in this city even though I'm not happy, etc. So this post is very inspirational to me. I can do it! Thank you for posting this! It came at the right point in my life.
