I am getting close to 13k miles and am not sure I want...

    I am not sure if you've seen the movie, but the relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn doesn't make sense AT ALL. The relationship between Deadshot and his daughter is so forced.

    Oh God, that documentary pissed me off. Also, this short video helps put things into perspective. PG-13 is supposed to be pushing the envelope of PG, not pulling R backwards.

    So... thinking of leave grad school (long post warning)

    Shit happens man, some times advisors can be a real PITA.. and some do tend make life harder for everyone around them. My only advise is... rather than leaving altogether why don't you apply to a different university.
