Hi CS,
I think that I've made a dozen lists already today. The worst stinky moment was when I was waiting to hear whether a faculty member would write me a letter of recommendation. Would he? would he not? I had a list going of what would happen if he did. what would happen if he did not. agony.to have my fate resting in someone else's hands. and knowing that he's on email ALL the time and isn't writing back to me. (yes... he finally wrote me back, told me it was sent- whew!)
Made me feel like a dumbass.
Talked to my bro, he said it seemed like a good idea, we talked a bit about how he also decided to pursue two different graduate degrees. Some interesting parallels. It's almost like we share something in common, like our genes or environments or something.
I've decided to get my toes wet by only doing the program 1 day a week this semester. I will take one intensive class and kick some *ss in it. Then I will have more self-confidence to take 2 classes next semester and then do the full training program after that.
Sound like a plan?
Of course, it will be only a small commitment at first, to decide if this training program is for me or not.
Am I good at this stuff? People around me are saying yes. The only person I'm kinda scared of is my T. newT said I'd be good at that kind of job. QuieT and I haven't had the discussion yet, and he's out of town right now. Before he left I joked that while he was gone I would find a post-doc. haha. he probably thought I was joking. I will do my best to maximize the dramatic effect of my announcement and see if I can make him fall out of his chair. I think every one of my T's deserves to experience the full onslaught of Llurpsie-style impetuosity.
Anyways, grandmom is my financial aid this semester, so it's not going to ruin me to take a class or two.
(((((((grandmom))))))))
