this day has been an enormous waste
and everything feels daunting, even the things I know I can do, because I'm not at my best and I can't get the things I can't do out of my head. Like my big research paper. Maybe the reason most undergraduates don't get the marvelous opportunity to do a project of this magnitude is because they don't have enough background knowledge to work in such depth. I can't believe this semester of Sed Strat is almost over as I feel that I have learned so little and now I have to write this paper based on things I have at most a superficial understanding of. I am scared. I guess it is an opportunity to rise to the occasion and take initiative in my education and bang out a great analysis of my samples.
Yes, I am scared. That is how I feel overall, about everything. I'm waiting for it to pass so I will feel able enough to do something. I caved and asked my dad to draw some lines on a graph. I kept getting it wrong. Lines on a graph! After third grade who can't draw a line with a slope of approximately 7.6? Me. I should stop complaining.
The other day I was driving behind a truck carrying one of those arrow signs that tells you to go into another lane because the one you are driving in is closed ahead. You know what I am talking about, the ones with yellow dots of light that can be made to point either way. Anyway. it was pointing left and I momentarily felt awkward when turning right, like I was doing something wrong. It was pretty funny.
I should mention that I will be graduating at the end of summer, provided I don't fail anything. How lovely for me
ps- I've clearly been studying fairy tales too long. I just read the story of the dancing princesses and thought about how it can be seen as teaching proper courtship behavior.
