I meet a friend every Thursday morning for coffee (well, he drinks the coffee, I am coming home to bed so I drink herbal tea) and today he had some insightful things to say that I have to mull over.
He said that he thinks I'm self-sabotaging. Me? really? Huh...maybe, I have to think about this.
He said he thought I went off on a few people due to my distress about Columbia and UCSF and all the things going on; that's very possible.
he also had some advice that may serve me in future--he told me to just go on avoidance when I start feeling like that, in order to not shoot myself in the foot and burn bridges...he's right.
He also said he thought the best thing would be for me to suck it up and go back to New York and be done in two years. Bad program or no, I'll have a degree and be eligible to sit for boards.
It's nice to talk to someone who's objective, and will give you their honest opinion and listen to a very long story and let it be all about you when it needs to be.
I guess that's the meaning of friendship.
