Today, just now, I decided I'm going to quit graduate school. Next week is an exam for which I am unable to fully prepare, as well as a rotation talk about my project that I failed to complete. If I don't at least pass the exam, I have to re-take the class next year. I do not, under any circumstance, wish to do that. So today I'm going to quit.
I am sure that after the exam is over, the talks are completed, and I'm safely in my next rotation, I will probably decide not to quit anymore. Although, I cannot guarantee it.
I'm starting to think that graduate school is a cruel joke played on people who think they want to do research. Like a sort of hazing, to make sure you're serious. It sucks.
