Also: I've been doing a bit of soul-searching the last week or so. Thinking about where I am in life and where I want to be, and frankly not being all that pleased by my assessment. Which I suppose is nothing new. I'm not so sure about this whole academia thing...sometimes it seems a lot like a default option, and I'm not sure how much I believe in anything I'm doing at the moment.
Until I actually started talking to people, I had no idea how many PhD students go through this stuff. It's not at all uncommon to be feeling that way a year in. Tell your supervisor what up, and if he/she is any good, you'll get some good words back. I'd also highly recommend the PSA sundowner this afternoon from 5:30 in the tav. Free beer and pizza, and an abundance of friends in similar situations. And me!
