I would like to enjoy reading once again, please. I would like to be able to take my time with a book and really digest it and think and be able to pick up something that interests me without feeling pressured all of the time to get it done, get it done, you have so much else to do!I would like to be able to experience my life instead of

I hated feeling stupid in front of other people. I was always trying to think of "smart" things to say as well... then one of the best professors Ive ever had totally called people out on it. He said he asked people questions about stuff he didnt know, even if he thought it would make him look stupid. He never looked stupid. I think its some sort of unrealistic fear we all have, that other people around us will all laugh or think we are retarded if we ask a question or say we dont know something.

I think Im STARTING to not care if I appear stupid... but its damn hard... heh

sorry about grad school difficulties. :(
Hang in there champ! Your almost half-way done, sport! Keep your chin up, Buck-O!

I don't know, I feel like it's a bit different here. Like I can usually tell when people are just bullshitting or when they're being overly pretentious. But instead I just feel like they're always talking about things I should be thinking about or I should be saying or I should have a comment on.

And I don't usually have a problem asking people questions about things I don't know, but here...I don't know. There's something different. I genuinely believe that there's no such thing as a stupid question, but I doubt these people do.

You need to relax a little bit! Your smarter than all them combined I'd wager ;)
