I'm paying $10k/semester for a school that I hate. An average day means 3 hours of commuting by train to/from campus, 5 miles away. My classes are 9:30am to 6:45pm, which means I spend all day on campus where there's nothing to do and nowhere to go. Out of boredom, I read the entire Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Boston Metro, and the weeklies. I come home exhausted and have a couple of drinks, but not enough to get drunk. There's enough time for homework and a little bit of chatting with friends on msn, but that's it.

I've got a little over a year left and I feel completely unmotivated. I'm miserable most of the time and I'm paying big bucks for my degree, for what? So I can get a decent job. A job in which I'll work my @$$ off every day and, as dragnink put it, make someone at the top even richer. I'll never be at the top because I don't have the personality or the networking skills to be there. I'll always work so that I can live to work some more, to spend my free time as a consumerist and get screwed over on a daily basis. That's all that most people do in life.

I moved to Boston believing that it would be easier to get ADD treatment here. That was one of my reasons, anyway. It turns out that nobody wants to help, and the healthcare system is every bit as stagnant and unpromising as it was at home.

The worst thing is discovering that I might not be as capable of learning as people have always led me to believe. Before college I set state records on exams, and now I'm struggling in an introductory bio course.

I'm dragging my way through school cos I don't want to live like a bum. Sometimes my only motivation in life is that if I give up school now, I won't get student loan money next semester.

Today was the crappiest in a long time. I felt a strong urge to drop everything and fly to another continent where I can wander around and experience new things daily......
