What to do?

Okay so here is the deal. I had a discussion with my supervisor today and I need to make a decision on whether or not I do my phd directly and not do my masters. Do I want to be tethered to this city for at least 4 more years or should I just get my masters and keep my options open. I need to think really hard about this one. This is one of those life shaping decisions.

um. you really hate it here that much?
well my friend, do the rocking chair test...

Whats the rocking chair test? Glad you asked!

Firstly, pretend you are sitting in a rocking chair,
ten years from now. happily rocking back and forth
with a lemonade or beer in hand and watching the game
on the tube. Now also imagine you look around and
see ya girl/wife (and kids??). Got it. take some time now to let it sink in good (like a fine shot of brandy). ... ... ... mmm... good...yum

Ok. now here is the fun part, ask yourself if you will be thinking, "Gee, its great I did that PhD, i dont regret it!" or "Gee I'm glad i didnt waste time on that PhD.!"

So if you can do this and not regret the decision ~10 from now...
(this isnt my idea, stole it from someone, thought it might help here)

Slice..

ps. laura, i also wanted to say earlier, that maybe its just you are getting bored of partying, and you want to change it up a bit. too much change is sometimes too hot for one shot...

peace out..
