I'm so friggen spoiled!

Okay, so I get a letter from the place that accepted me, telling me that all of the stuff they will be paying for me amounts to $145,000.

And instead of going "Wah-HEY, I don't even know what that kind of cash looks like!" I think "Oh poo, I'll have to teach 20 hours a week for it."

What the hell is wrong with me?

Why is it that when I get my heart's desire, my heart moves on to something even more unattainable before I even have enough time to celebrate?

Other people would kill to be in the position I am in. Heck, last week, I would have killed to be in the position I am in now. Someone from a family like mine should never have had an opportunity like this.

I am excited. I *AM* excited.

I am so pissed off with myself for not appreciating this more.

i heard about your place that it is the no. 1 grad student exploiting graduate school in america. as in, they let their students teach more than anywhere else, and have high expectations from it all, without paying more than others.

this might be a good topiv to talk to current grad students about...

You're right, I was suspicious of that as well. I shall get in contact, pronto!
