Grad School Sucks
No one knows. No one cares. And no one cares that no one knows or cares.
That's the bottom line.
The desks in the windowless room are too small. Painfully small. Hurt. Ouch.
There are roaches in the windlowless room, and now ants too. It's dirty. It never seems to get cleaned.
The teachers don't teach. The grading policies are bizarre. No one seems to care if you're actually learning. The neuro guy claims to, but I think it's all an act, and that really he just get off on torturing us.
I have no life. I have no fun. I'm not learning about anything I'm interested in. I'm not getting what I came for.
I'm about to meet with the head of the department, so I guess these are the things I'm going to tell him. And then we'll see. Maybe I'll quit. Maybe I won't.
Stay tuned...

Not that I'm advocating quitting, but why pay for something that seems to be giving you nothing. Grad school isn't supposed to be fun, but I don't think it needs to be a dirty prison either.

Oh... I realized that my comment may have seemed as if I was implying that you were expecting a two year party at grad school, and I know you weren't. I would say that you were expecting a quality education, clean classroomS (not just one dirty one) and a slice of time to yourself to unwind.
