So... here I am. It's midterm time and it is brutal. The good part is that I'm learning a lot that I actually find interesting.
On Thursday I met with Dr. Phyllis, as she is meeting with all of us in the program individually. I felt good about it because I'm pretty okay face-to-face with people. I was there for a good 45 minutes and it was nice because I got to talk explicitly about my perceived insignificance compared to my peers. She asked about my family, so I had to bring up mom. I can never decide if it's a good thing to talk about that because then people really know a lot about you, but it turned out positive. We talked about BroMenn (her husband works there) and we talked a lot about practicum. It's nice because I didn't feel like I really had to impress her, as I often did with professors in undergraduate. I do have to impress her with coursework, but maybe not when I'm meeting with her outside of class. Outside of class it feels more like a colleague type of relationship.
I'm so anxious. In just a few weeks I can start emailing about Cambridge. Next week we have a class period about practicum. The dates are up on the Cosmos website about the trip. I'm nervous and excited and just ready to know and plan!
