Resolutions and an Interesting Article
So I need to make some New Year's Resolutions. Here are my goals:Take some nights and weekends to relax and not think (or worry) about work.
Do things that make me happy.
Don't be afraid to say no.
Don't worry about my decision to not get a PhD now - just enjoy this last semester and look forward to work.
These are all things that are affecting me now, but I've realized they are things I really do need to work on in general. This whole PhD decision process really did teach me a few things about myself.
In other news, Abbott sent out this article about highly intelligent high schools, and I like the line:
"Super-achievers aren't just bright; they crave that distinction."
It's exactly what I've been thinking about and talking about in my last blog. It's so true here at MIT, and we have to remember that we are really smart (and I know this sounds conceited, but oh well). And you know, even if we climb to the top of the education ladder, we won't be distinct - there are others with PhDs. So I'm comfortable with my decision, and I'm much happier than I've been in a while.
