So, yesterday I had a presentation- it was something I was going to do my proposal on, I think. Maybe. I don't know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I had to rely on my notes, and there was a very important mistake on the slides that made one thing not make a whole lot of sense. I got through it though, and the criticisms I got were very positive!
Then I finished up my homework problems, and I only had to go and ask for two hints on the second part of it. They were both kind of obvious, and I think if I had had more time, I could have done it all on my own.
And then I went drinking- first a beer with my 3 PM lunch, and then out to dinner with my friends from the department.
I've had a bit of an ordeal adjusting to grad school and life at Penn State- you guys have already heard a lot of it. The math, the papers, the five impossible things before breakfast, the TA fiasco... that gets to a person, and I let it get to me.
But after dinner, I was walking home, just sort of noticing how the snow was sticking to the trees. I've always liked it when it snowed. Then I noticed how I was standing a little straighter, how there was a bit more of a spring in my step, kind of like when I was at Akron, before I lost confidence after being unemployed, underemployed, overworked and in over my head.
I think I've got my mojo back!
