I'm very tired and burnt out today - sick of being in limbo and constantly being treated like the piece of garbage like I am.   It's easy to stand back and look at the big picture and think this is a bad place to be - though the opposite is necessary here - you have to narrowly look only one day ahead.  Any more than that and only a crazy person would remain along this path.  Long distance thinking is not wise - too bad this goes against everything I am. 

I'm reading a book on the Surge in Iraq from 2006-2008, and there the American mentality on their campaign is "We shouldn't have come here, but now that we're here we may as well stick it out. We don't know what an end to this is, or looks like, and our ideals in the beginning are never going to happen - but what the hell we can't leave because to leave now would be the greater of two evils."   

I think the old adage of a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure is a bit off - more like a gram of prevention is worth a metric ton of cure. 

That's how I feel about this - overall it seems the least wrong decision would be to stick it out.  There are no good options - only less bad ones. 

One quiz out of the way today, another one tomorrow, then an exam Friday.  I'm not too worried about the theory but the practical I am bad at.
