The first 3 years of my PhD program were fun. Full of people, travel, new ideas and learning. Now I sit alone in an office all day and try to write. It's lonely. It's not fun anymore. I'm not making progress. It feels like purgatory and I don't know how I'm going to get to the other side. I'm an extrovert. This sucks.
