I think it will be better next semester. I really do not like having 18+ hours of homework a week, attending classes and trying to put in ~30 hours in the lab.

You wuss, thats not that bad.

Not particularly. Have a couple large expenditures coming up. Two will be fun and expensive, 1 will be expensive, and 1 will likely be really expensive, take more than a year, and cause considerable pain.

For the record, I voted "yes", I consider myself happy.

No.

Hate my job, but no better jobs are available right now. Dislike where I live - not just the neighborhood, but the entire area in general. Wasting money renting a crappy house with no garage, and living with a roommate that often drives me nuts. Shit in the house breaks, landlord refuses to fix it - I don't want to spend significant amounts of my own money refurbishing a house that isn't mine, so the shit stays broken and it pisses me off. Single. Nothing in common with anyone I work with.

Happiness for me = job I like, living in an area I like, paying towards owning my own decent home, with a nice attached garage and NO roommate present. In a happy relationship, with like-minded individuals to hang out and shoot the shit with. I don't currently have any of that. Hopefully one or more of these things will change soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Meh...theres stuff I can complain about, but then again everyone always has shit to complain about. My problems, for the most part, are minor and are either

1) Within my ability to change
2) My own damn fault and not a surprise

Which is much preferred to the alternatives, "not within my ability to change," "not my own damn fault," and the worst, "not within my ability to change and arose from no fault of my own".

Home ownership is overrated, as the recent financial hullabaloo has shown clearly. The rest of it, I agree with you.

I think his point pretty much showed that it isn't. I love owning a home. Rented for 3 months in one of the nicest parts of town in a very nice apartment. Had my own home in a neighborhood that gradually eroded. I'd much rather live in my own home in that neighborhood than to live in an apartment again.
