Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

Date: January 2nd, 2012 12:02 am (UTC)As far as the locales of my academic adventures, I did my accelerated BA/MA at U Louisville. I currently am teaching in a fantastic interdisciplinary program at a small Catholic (the irony!) university in my area. I'm sorry to be tetchy about specifics, but I had a bad experience with my RL colliding with my LJ life a while back during said MA, so I try *really* hard to keep them separate. It's probably all here if someone looked hard enough, but I just feel odd about naming names - it's nothing personal, I promise....
