Today is the first day of the fall semester.

A quick and purposely vague update on my last post: The meeting with my advisor went really well and I felt a million times better about where I am in my program. She did go over my final paper for her class, which should had gone better for me, but I also agreed with her criticism. Live and learn.

I am reading Brene Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection right now and it is helping so much with this PhD stuff. I do consider myself a perfectionist, but have really been working on it on my own the last few years. I’ll write more on the book once I am done. It is going slowly because I can’t input more than a few pages from her at once. There is just so much to think about and digest.

Well I should get to bed. I just wanted to write this quick update for myself. I have classes on Mondays and Thursdays, so today is class! Time for sleep.
