How my Ph.D. program doesn't support me.

The one prof I work for this quarter in the gen-ed curriculum has let me skip a lot of classes in order to work on diss, he just said to show up whenver we transitioned to a new book -

And I've made full use of those extra hours (4-8 a week!) and made *great* progress on my dissertation.

(I also taught 2 classes, once as a "thanks" and another time when he was out of town unexpectedly.)

In any case, that just goes to show you how when given opportunities, I take advantage of them - and it makes me notice how administrators in my program and beyond aren't creating those opportunities.

It really just p*ss*s you off.
