PhD drop-out

Hi All,

So it´s official now, I made the decision a few weeks back, whne I was struggling with cadence trying to make something of my final project at JHU and I realize I did not have the stamina to keep going... Too much work, too much stress, more than I can handle now in life. So it was decided, the letter sent, the news broken out to Andreas who as always was just as understanding and suppotive as he has been during this whole process... It took me two years to come down to this but now I feel relieved and hopefully I´ll be able to focus on my life in Argentina.

The other thing... I´m writing this from my dad´s apartment. I was not able to go to USA, just could not get on the plane, too many things going on I guess. Now I´m trying to find my center once again, I think I lost it wya back, maybe 4 years ago and I just keep fighting, maybe is time to stop fighting and see where am I, what do I actually want for life. Part of that is to close some options and make choices that place me here. I need my roots, maybe this is the more unstable place to set roots, but at the same time it does feel right. No regrets so far.

The only regret is not being at Frank´s wedding, not seeing the guys in CA... But hopefully there will be a time when I do feel better and whole and I can go and be the one I used to, don´t feel like myself most of the time.

Anyways, feeling much better at home now, visiting friends and family. I´ll be back in BA on Sunday morning, let´s see how things go from there. One step at the time, I just want to be back with my routine and at work.
