@ So Fu*king Exhausted @ |
Got through Latin test, it was insane - participles and indirect
statements which take one of six kind of infinitives plus complicated
rules for to be verb. Insane. Then went to my favorite prof right now
for learn a lot about areas I am really ignorant about in social
theory, cultural criticism, literary theory and such that forms new
critical postmodern approaches.
I am way too conservative a thinker to embrace the assumptions of
postmodernism BUT I really like learning about it and seeing what
concerns are. Now DONE for week except doing proposal rewrite for
conference tomorrow.
I want to go play with Maria instead.
There is so much I want to do with her, for her, and also work but also
things to work on changing - you know real change - and making both our
lives better but I am so terribly exhausted I can't handle much. It is
very very scary and I do not know if it is just bad health or because
of age . . . it is kind of exhaustion that one feels faint and fights
passing out at moments.
BTW for anyone who thinks I am a silly goose or worse for thinking of
that lamp it is off the radar screen right now for have to be
responsible about money and not go off nutty. Did I tell you all Maria
got a little black kitten? She carries her around everywhere and the
kitten likes it - really meows when Maria is not around but skittish
with me or Leif.

Good for you. Academia needs ppl of that sort.
Grammar tests are quite an ordeal.
And I don't think your posts about certain
stuff at all silly.

i remember how exhausted my mother would get when she went
back to school for a doctorate. we were 13, 11, and 9 at the
time. she also had painful health concerns, though different
from yours. she has rheumatoid arthritis. she still says
getting her phd was the most difficult thing she's ever done.
i remember her constantly doubting herself both as a mother
and a student. i was severely depressed at the time, much like
maria, which i'm sure was a gnawing concern. it helped me
somewhat that we also got a kitten at the same time. the other
grad students found a young litter in a box in the parking
lot, and we kept one.
my mother succeeded, got her degree, and a post-doc at
columbia. now she runs a research foundation and is dean of a
program for md's to earn phd's, as well as lecturing sometimes
at two prestigious schools.
if she could do it, so can you. it'll be the toughest thing
you've done, but stick with it and i'm certain you'll succeed.

What a story Lisa,
I didn't know your mom did this. Now I know where you get some of your
strength and determination from. Three children?? I feel like your mom
with just Maria. I am not giving up or anything just complaining for
ASD is a good place to vent. But I am going to take a darn nap for a
bit.
You must be real proud of your mom. I love stories like this.

i wasn't so proud of her until she graduated. just *****
that she was ignoring us so much. it worked out ok in the end,
though, and i was as proud as anyone watching her graduate.
then she did her post-doc in manhattan, so i had a ride in to
play in the city whenever my friends and i wanted during non-
school days.
i hope you have/had a good nap. you deserve it.

Am so glad you posted this. Few things are
as inspiring as others' success stories.
