(progress report 1 yr later:)

either:

i've wasted this entire term in a class i hate which my advisor will let me
graduate without and i'm almost going to lose my job because i disappear
for days at a time to do these labs and i've lost some beautiful days in
the sun i could have had and ...

or:

i have to get this fucking thing to actually work, JUST TWICE and i can get
checked off and graduate, but i'll probably (realism) be stuck in lab for
weeks and weeks more.

i'd feel really rotten dropping a class where i've gotten 20 pts above
class ave on both tests, but i've never hated anything as much at mit as
this with the possible exception of, well, the other shitty course 6
classes i've taken.

this is so depressing.  (what's even more depressing is that i could just
change my major to 18, not 18c, drop all my classes and still graduate.
why am i insisting on a degree that includes a two word phrase i don't want
to get a job in ever anyway?)

this is so depressing.  i wasted 10 hrs today on something i hate, when i
have so little time left at this institute.

*sigh*
