how scary is that?!? i just realised today that i've spent almost 19 years at school and uni! long time. i'm thinking about just forgetting the thesis for now (while there's such a lack of qualified staff to guide me) and getting a job, then going back later on when i don't feel so burnt out, cos at the moment all i feel like doing is stuff i enjoy, like all my crafty things. i really need to get a full-time job so i can get some $$ in and the situation i'm in at the moment is not helping me do that at all.
