I am a new PhD student in a good program at a prominent university. I am slowly realizing, however, that my proposed program of study is not what really interests me. In fact, nothing that I have been focusing on for the past few years of my life is really what excites and motivates me.
In response to this, a few days ago I had an existential crisis. What am I doing with my life? How am I spending my time? Why? To answer some of these questions, and to work through the mess that is my stream of day to day consciousness, this is my blog.
This blog, honestly, is not meant to be interesting, as it is not meant to be read and enjoyed by anyone in particular. It is only an external portal, a place to hold myself responsible for the way I spend my time, and an outside place to work out my thoughts in writing. We'll see how it goes.
