things i would rather do than get a phd

several people in my program are hearing back from phd programs nowadays. i'm happy for them, but it also reminds me that there are nine billion other things i'd rather do. like:

die
move back to provo
work as a garbage collector for the next five years
go on bedrest forever
run a marathon
eat asparagus EVERY DAY
do the krispy kreme challenge twice in a row
have triplets
flush all my money down the toilet
move to qatar
stick thumbtacks in my eyeballs
read all of the twilight books
give up chocolate
vomit in public
have our house burn down
die


i'm serious.

I totally laughed out loud. Love it so much! P.S. I read "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" after I saw that you read it and I really loved it. I need to read more books that you recommend...
