yeah...i feel like there's something inside of me that has been asleep for a bit, or scared into hiding. the process of written & oral exams + dissertation writing is profoundly ego shaking under the best of circumstances, or when things go according to plan. things have not gone according to plan for me, so my confidence has been shaken a lot. i haven't been writing with my own voice lately--i feel like i have to write/say/think what others write/say/think, and that's no way to work. it also kills motivation. anyway, i feel like the part of me that wants to speak and has something to say is waking up again. we'll see how she does in front of my committee, eh?
