Blogging
>> Monday, November 2, 2009
Wow, I'm a terrible blogger any more.
And it is not really that I don't have time - I could make time for it. At least the blogging part; not likely to ever get back to spending much time dropping or promoting - but I could write 'em.
Haven't been - especially this one - mostly because I don't figure anyone wants to listen to me whine.
I am not having fun with this school thing right now. I will be very, very glad when I get through April - well, assuming I DO get through it; at this point I am not confident.
IF I manage to survive this first year, the rest should be doable. Just have to make it through, that's all. Minor details.
And your year started out so swimmingly. Here's hoping things start looking up.
Flit,
Some of my lowest days were during my doctoral program--mostly due to conflicts with a committee member--horrific conflicts. But somehow, they worked themselves out--resolved even--and I made it through. I'm hoping the same results for you. I truly do believe that many profs try to test grad students just to see how they handle pressure.
Most of my difficulty is similar - not conflicts, so much - but the feeling that there is one person that I can't possibly please - and that one person holds ALL of the power.
Flit, dont worry, just keep on doing what you do best. you are on your way and will get there. You are doing great!
