Today, I've come to the realization that I don't want to do school any more.
This isn't because I don't like Queen's, since I do; this isn't because I don't like my classes, since I do; this isn't because I don't like my instructors, because I do; this certainly isn't because I don't like my classmates and fellow cohort in the English graduate program here it Queen's, because I most definitely do.
I just feel burnt out and completely unmotivated right now. I want to get my MA in English, with all due and appreciated thanks to the institution and the people who man it; then, I want to get out of the academic environment I've lived in for almost two decades, including one year of kindergarten, twelve years in the public school system, six years at the undergraduate level, and my current year at the graduate level. I want to go to Toronto, find a career and apartment, and make my way from there.
I've no doubt that I'll do that. I've also no doubt that I'll complete my degree. Still, this is frustrating and a bit disappointing.
