And so it begins...
Countless hours I have spent pondering my fate; whether to put myself through the stress and self-sacrifice that others do not shy away from warning me against. A more intelligent person than I would surely listen to them.
But I cannot leave my twenties behind, without at least attempting those three little letters.
The acronym 'PhD' nicely sums up my current mental state following my return from an all too brief eye-opening overseas adventure. Was that my last backpacking experience? Thoughts of Vietnam are flitting through my mind as I struggle with some kind of jetlag-induced reverse culture shock. I unconsciously hesitate for just a moment before drinking water from the tap, using toilet paper, or saying 'thank you' in English. I crawl meekly into my cave of 'post-holiday depression'.
There's no looking back now; my worldly adventures are over.
I'm doing a PhD.
Go you! Will be interesting to see how your thoughts change with time :)
