"one time, i met an architect. and i told him, 'wow, i've always thought it would be fun to be an architect.' and the architect said, 'yeah, i thought it would be too--but it turns out that just like everything else, it's about 90% work.' and that's what i've found out about everything--i took this class because i thought linguistics would be fun, but turns out it's about 90% work."
i keep seeing these cool and amazing opportunities for education everywhere that i want to do after i graduate. (a master's in publishing? cool! a master's in library science? isn't being a librarian what i'm totally cut out to be anyways? cool!) and then i have to remind myself that i'm only just barely getting myself to care about and do all the work for the master's that i'm in. and even though they look like they'd be a lot of fun--they're probably just 90% work.
you just have to decide if all the work is worth the 10% fun you have left.
