I just saw 6 kittens be born and then the mother eat the afterbirth. Then my friends and I sparked up an L, had some beers, and played Magic. True story.

I'm at a point in my life where if the world exploded in a cataclysmic fireball, my only thought would be how annoying it is not being able to finish my book or cop a feel or Lily Alen's arse.
My only thought would be how thankful I am that I don't have to pay back all those loan's due to med school. I really don't want to even think about that.

I didn't get loans for med school. I worked at a hospital and tried to wheedle them into believing it was "work-related education". Then I cried as I put $400 textbooks on my credit card.
The biggest ass-fuck there is when you buy a $400 postgrad textbook, the professor teases the class into believing he might use it until after the book-return deadline, then never does. When you put it on casters to roll it into the used-book sale in mint condition, they tell you they'll give you $25 for it.
Wow, I totally forgot about that kind of shit too. I remember buying books for my english classes and never used one of them which roughly came around to the price of $150, couldn't return it either.

I was also a big fan of the professors' xeroxing two or three of their papers, comb-binding them in a flimsy little presentation folder, and selling them in the bookstore as mandatory "textbooks" for $50.
I just got rid of two of those last week- I'd held onto them for 10 years because it felt like throwing $50 away.
My worst purchase was 2 engineering texts for $200. But this was 25 years ago, when that was real money.
Grad school sucked balls. Free education, yes, but below poverty line living expenses. For 6 fucking years. You've either got to be committed, or you should be committed.

The two scariest things you ever want to hear. A two year old coming into the next room and saying "Uh Oh!" and pointing. And changing a poopy diaper for the one kid while you hear a projectile vomit from the other. Ah youth.
