| God,
I do not want to hurt those I love just because I am too selfish and stubborn to trust in You.
Help?

| How do I say no to something I've been asked to do without offending the person who asked?
And to complicate this even more-- what if the person is one of my advisors? And further still-- what if they're the one for whom I am currently supported?

| i'm amazed by my roommate. she is constantly sympathetic and supportive and never seems to get upset at me over all the annoying things i do (or don't do). i wonder, where does she get this amazing sense of herself such that she is able to be so confident and so giving of herself to me and to others???
i hope that someday i will have that again. in the meantime, when everyone around me is seeing not me, but a shell that is in pieces and nothing but the worst is showing through the cracks, i am thankful that she is able to somehow see past it all.
i don't want to go to school today. i want to stay home and cry.

| big project working on at work today, and then someone asked me to help with something else too... when it rains it pours... i've spent an hour or more just getting the data in, and now i have to make some sense of it... and they even want something that looks nice. *sigh*... and my advisor's back and wants to get together with me for some discussions, as she says. which is good, but i had to tell her that my schedule is so inconsistent lately... makes me wonder whether i really can do all the traveling that i plan to do and still finish the candidacy proposal and exams... and i don't know whether to feel guilty or not about it... should i feel guilty about not putting my schoolwork first in my life, or should I just be stubborn like I always am and think, my priorities are my priorities and they may be different from yours, or what you think mine should be, but that's not going to make me change them... ? | | |
| I had a moment of encouragement today when I was sitting on the top floor of the library trying to get work done... favorite companion said yesterday that I can't be a fake student if I have gotten this far, and I realized that if nothing else, I have certainly come a long way in my ability to read research papers... I remember my first couple of years and all the papers just seeming way over my head... now I skim them and they seem unimpressive... lol!
hopefully this transfers into ability to talk about research... candidacy exam minus 8 weeks and counting. (hopefully.)
