arguchiksometimes it does get darker before the dawn... the funny thing is how fast life can change from one to the other and back again. exams were done, i was feeling great--wrote two 15+ page essays in 72 hours. then i heard from my advisor: they wanted me to revise one of the essays. suddenly not feeling so great. over the next few days i oscillated between freaked out, pissed off, scared, worried, and even self-righteous once or twice. i had a nightmare weekend writing the revision, melted down for too many hours, and barely pulled the thing out before the deadline. it's a wonder my stomach survived. now i'm getting feedback from my committee about the revision--so far it's very positive. i'll get the actual, specific comments over the next couple of days, and then...i just have to survive the 2-hour oral exam.
i don't quite trust the upturn yet though. i'm tentative about letting myself feel optimistic. can you blame me? we'll see, she says. we'll see.
meanwhile, pass the m&m's. no...the big bag.
