So, I'm pretty close to getting booted out of my master's program for causing too many problems for the faculty. I mean, I don't get it. All I've tried to do is work my ass off. I get shit on for giving a shit and other people get rewarded for not? If I've learned anything from this experience, it's that hard work isn't rewarded and money gets more money. Anyway, I'm trying to be more positive about it and let all that shit go, but it's hard.

Do you ever feel like your values aren't valued by anybody else and that holds you back? I'm trying to learn how to be a "professional", which I feel like is such a waste of time when there's people out there starving and suffering. This mask that people wear that we call "professionalism" is a self-serving sham and is totally antithetical to a strengths based appreciation for humanity. But I suppose I'll have to buy in for a while until I can rip shit up on a more major level.
