Because there aren't any remotely decent English programs around here, I'm sick and damned tired of being taken advantage of by the college, and I thought that I could "increase my earning potential" by trying again. Besides, I thought it would be a big mistake to try and take the entrepreneurial route without any business background whatsoever.
However, after talking it over with teh boi, it is agreed that I will give the PhD programs another try this year, to possibly start next fall.
Don't be afraid of it, Emy -- it was more the fact that the class lasted for four hours. I started getting bored around the second hour. By 8:30, I was making a "PhD To Do List." Marketing's actually pretty interesting. But not in four-hour blocks. That's just torture.
Besides -- I'm a Lit person. It's in my blood. What was common sense to the rest of my classmates was total "Bwuh?" to me. I'm going to suck it up and stick it out because I'm not teaching this semester, and financial aid is essentially my "income" for the time being. I can DO the work; it's just boring as hell (to me).
