I haven't really had time to think, absorb, or feel anything about my decision to drop out of grad school. My job is as a project manager / editor for a publishing company, and today I was juggling four authors and their needs. And I spent ALL day at it.
Even if I wanted to continue with school, I don't think I would have the time even if I weren't already unhappy. I spent the day tweaking and making adjustments and taking notes, emailing and phoning, formatting and uploading and editing--and I
loved it.
Grad school never once crossed my mind, today.
I don't feel regret, guilt, or shame. I don't even feel like I've made a right choice, really. I just know that this other thing--work--keeps me very busy and I enjoy doing it.
Simple as that.
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." -- Steve Jobs
