I'm beginning to think that by turning an interest into a school research career will actually kill any momentum that I once had for it. School has gone horribly awry (I like that word). I find that my interest in AI revolves around my own enjoyment of it outside of work. I can talk about it for hours, read books about it, watch shows, etc. But when it comes to the grind that is a master's or PhD program and the pressure of getting results, I want to bury my head in the sand.

There's a lot going on besides just those two (work and school) and it's twisting my world inside-out right now.
