Specifically, what I didn’t realize was how much my confidence in my ability to do research had been blown to smithereens and scattered to the four winds. New Kid on the Hallway: Minor epiphany I have no confidence when it comes to research. New Kid, thankfully, has regained hers, but me, not so much. And [...]

Work The work week was kind of crazy. I worked on Monday since it was the first day of classes. And as you could probably tell from the previous post, I was a little stressed out.  On Wednesday, I spent about 2/3 of the day answering Blackboard questions. As I indicated below, part of my [...]
