    I quit my Ph.D. program to become a professional donor until extreme world poverty is eliminated (my aim is to earn as much as I can and donate most of it to the best charities). True story.

Long version:

    I started a Ph.D. program in Educational Psychology because I had high hopes that my eventual position as a tenured professor would be sweet all around. I thought that as a professor I would be able to do research on issues of great consequence for students and contribute towards implementing these and other important research findings into the school system. There are many interventions that are cheap to implemen ]]> http://yboris.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-a-documentary-219731903 http://yboris.deviantart.com/journal/Giving-a-documentary-219731903 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:19:34 PDT Giving: a documentary nonadult journals/personal yboris http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/y/b/yboris.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~yboris

I will attempt an experiment this year: I will blog about my specific goals and progress on a weekly basis in a public blog. My intentions are to keep myself honest and accountable. I will be forced to be specific in my goals so I could quantify my success and failures. Having your (at least potential) eyes on me, I think I will be more motivated. Throughout the year, feel free to glance at the blog and ask me how I am doing with it all. I appreciate your time.

I've used up 2007-2008 academic year by sitting in on about 12 classes (30+ credits) each semester, mainly philosophy. It was amazing. I recommend everyone do something similar sometime.

I've spent my summer relaxing, enjoying life, and mainly reading books.

I've spent this semester reading, and writing my writing-sample for graduate schools in philosophy. If I get in, I'll have another 5 amazing years ahead of me. If I don't get in, I'll still have many amazing years immediately ahead of me.

Either way - I love life.

My computer has been broken for perhaps 1/2 a year now ... maybe it's time to fix it. Without it I can not do art ... but I'm buisy with college.

It's so great how you improve yourself every year and say "wow I sucked before" ... every year ;) ]]> http://yboris.deviantart.com/journal/hmmmm-246382176 http://yboris.deviantart.com/journal/hmmmm-246382176 Wed, 28 May 2003 20:21:30 PDT hmmmm nonadult journals/personal yboris http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/y/b/yboris.jpg?1 Copyright 2003-2013 ~yboris
