Good PhD days feeling a little too few and far between latelyhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😥" title="Disappointed but relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Disappointed but relieved face">

Discouraged after a (rough) online teaching session I made/ran. Worsened by thesis issues/demands looming.

And I’m trying to remind myself that it’s a roller coaster, and it’s just a bad day but, the stress! And...

Feeling bad at teaching, bad at researching. Another day making me question academic future/PhD??

But at the same time, quitting doesn’t feel like an option?? Like, no marketable skills, student debt, no savings...

Just needed to vent/tweet a New Girl thread into the #academiclife void. #PhDlife has always been rough. Virtual PhD life feels rougher, especially this week.

Going to try & clear my head/hope for some more good days. Blast some music. And wait until an appropriate rosé time...
