yeah, sometimes I think I should drop out of grad school, get a job as a teacher, and start to try to buy a house. that way, my grandmother, who is 71 now, could stop working, and we could live out the rest of her years living together. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing in grad schoo pretty often.
Well, I'm with you on the periodic crisis of confidence. The thing is I actually really like my project ideas and having the time and space for this kind of work - and I actually get reminded of that periodically, especially when I'm away from it for a while. For me I guess the hardest part is figuring out where I fit with this world socially, and who I am if I fit.... Of course they're related, because a lot of the hoop-jumping is essentially social in a way.
I am a Christian ... the kind who gets along better with atheists and Jews than other Christians! Seriously ... I was raised sort of atheist, though my family is low-church protestant - my granddad was a lay preacher, and that definitely left a certain flavor with me. I guess my beliefs are most closely aligned with liberation theology. I periodically think of converting to Catholicism, but taking on Catholicism in the US is taking on a lot of bullshit esp. around various aspects of gender.... I don't know.
just quick (supposed to me asleep long ago - though I know to you this is a strange idea!) - thought maybe that sending this link here would work better for some reason than otherwise - it's from Dean Spade's online zine makezine.org: http://www.makezine.org/dick%20woods%20road%20draft.mht
