My positive for today is it's the day that Traci finds out what she actually found during her self exam.

Love,

Good idea for a post, Keli. It's sunny here too, but I'm not feeling good enough to get out and enjoy it...so my good thing is going to be that I had the afternoon off from class...hasn't happened in a long time. I haven't done too much with the time, but it's a nice break, especially after my 14-hour day on Wednesday!

Well, if I had written earlier I would have had nothing positive to say, but luckily, as you probably all know, I don't get online until I get home from work at 1am. This past monday I had an exam that I thought I failed, or at best got 50, and an essay to hand in (technically overdue, but with my disability accommodations they give a little flexibility) and I never really did write an essay, but "something" and handed it in.

Well I got both of those back today. The essay I got 60% on which is only a C- but it's not an F. I am reading about borderline personality (my 1st dx) and realize that of course I'm either going to have the best mark in the class or fail it...black and white thinking. My T.A. also gave me a playful smack with the papers in her hand as she handed me back mine and said "you didn't fail!" (grr I don't know how to describe or emote the way she said it...like "of course you didn't fail, or, did you ever doubt yourself"

I got the exam back (actually got that one first, but I CHOSE to write it in this order). and I got 91%. I'm thinking, ya right, I must have someone else's, or this is some cruel joke, or somebody is giving me pity points because they saw my bandaged wrist. In any case, this is wrong, I can't possibly have gotten that mark. I don't deserve it. Now 5 of that was bonus marks so I really only got 86. But I still don't understand it. My response to the essay question was one page, no real conclusion and forgot all the sources except one and the one I did cite was the wrong book for the example I was talking about. Just FYI it's books of the bible or other early Jewish and Christian scriptures and the course is on death and the afterlife. The other course is "skepticism, atheism and religious faith" and is on Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Yikes! So, considering how hard it is to understand Kierkegaard (who the first half of the course, and thus the paper, was on) the best I really hoped for was a D-. I was quite mad about this course because it is a religious studies course not a philosophy course and I haven't really learned how it fits in religion.

On a different note, still not able to come up with replies to all your posts. I don't know why I can't find the words of love, and encouragement that I need to share. Sigh. In any case, hugs to all.

Love,

Amanda

Thanks Morgaine.

I may be able to write well here...but even then, that is only at times.

I need to be inspired. I cannot write a paper unless i get the "lightbulb"

Apparantly I would be a good essayist if I actually tried to organize it. lol.
(The last paper, and actually all from this year, which was admittedly only two, I think, were all just written from my head in the order they came out with no editing or reaaranging).

Much of the problem with this paper was that, but also stuff that I hadn't even considered and it was like "duh, of course!" For example, something I should have defined or implications I should have explored.

I wish you could see this paper and the comments (which are hard enough for ME to read - pencil and she doesn't have the clearest writing). You would probably laugh at me, just as she did...for being silly and catastrophizing, that is.

She did say one good thing about me: "You write well, clearly, simply. Good stuff" but goes on later to say that I should have analyzed more and should have tackled the question and though about HOW I would take it on. In other words, My words are pretty, my thoughts are few. (hmmm..that is my new saying. Copyright me, now!)

Amanda,


I'm not sure what degree you're working on and where you are but my first graduate course was all about writing.
