I'm working on my Master's Thesis... I want to dieeeeee...

Oh shit that was a joke. I forget that not everybody knows every damn detail about me ahhhhh

Ah, that's a shame, I think?

No! I just meant I shouldn't pretend to be pursuing a PHD even jokingly since many folk are doing so in earnest

It's all right dude, I think you have accurately captured how tired and (near) delusional I was by the time I neared the end of my Master's level studies. But seriously, people that pursue PHDs, are on another level entirely for different reasons depending on their field. I mean I never thought it would be easy to get a Master's or a PHD, but I never appreciated how much work it actually was until my final 3 semesters.

Hey! Don't worry, dude! Trust me, the only PhDs that wouldn't appreciate a joke are jerks anyway, and certainly not worth catering towards regardless.

I’m working on my doctorate in delusion.

Huzzah!

I'm only one girlfriend away from "Heavenly Creatures" by this point, it feels like sometimes. Pocket realities... so much so...

"Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings, always darker, emptier, simpler." I think that's Neitzsche and I don't care to see for myself. But I think of that a lot while I cope. That's what we want. Simpler worlds where we have control.
