My flight to the East Coast is scheduled to depart on Thurs, 6:30am, and I'm still fiddling with my syllabus for my class in the fall quarter which begins NEXT WEEK, and I'm still writing my seminar paper which has to be in circulation NEXT WEEK. And, I after I send out my seminar paper to my group and anyone else interested in the paper (these things are public, so sometimes people ask for our papers but don't show up to the discussions, they are such _ssh_les), I have to write a 20-minute oral presentation for the week after.
I don't know how I get myself into these things!!!!!! I don't think I can finish all this work in a timely manner. What did I do this summer???
I'll bring work on my trip east, where I am scheduled to be part of an alumni panel on choosing academia. The proper answer to the question is, of course, "don't."
Oh, Z! But you're a success story! I'm sure a few years down the road you'll be happier with your choice. It's hard in the beginning with anything, I think.
