The best update I can give you
I made a very important decision yesterday - I'm not applying for any PhD programs for next year.
This might come as a surprise to some readers as I've always been known for my enjoying school and my success in it. But this is a decision I've made with conviction.
The reasons are as follows:
1) My heart (or "gut" if that helps your visualization) is telling me not to.
I'm not saying I wouldn't apply for some in coming years, nor am I saying I will. I just have had a very strong feeling that whatever I do next year is not going to be start working on a PhD.
At this point I'ld invite your comments and criticisms. I have many other points to ramble on about this but for once I don't feel like making a long post full of horrible spelling mistakes.
