Former library worker, now impoverished M.A. student, soon to be impoverished PhD student. Actually, they pay you pretty well to be a PhD student. Surprisingly. After you get the degree though, you're hooped (if you're a humanities major).

Hopefully I'll slip into a teaching position or a post-doc right away though. Next year I should be able to get back into racing but this summer has all been studying. Worth it, but in the short term it's painful. Summer means racing to me.

Oh well.
