The Emperor's New Clothes

[changeling67]

Yesterday
"I think you are an intelligent woman.  I just think that you have got a bad case of 'Emporer's New Clothes.' You are afraid of it, so you think you cannot do it. You think tht it is bigger than what it is, but it is the same as the other theories.  You will pass with what you have got, Rosie, but it won't be up to your usual standard."

Hence the last bid attempt via slash and burn editing, resignposting etc. The Emperor's New PoMo....

*sigh*

Sigh... I remember a math teacher telling me that I couldn't write. Really? At the time I was working as a professional writer and was a reporter for o local paper. Sure glad my bosses didn't agree with her.

Every once in a while, there is a subject that trips you up. that's what happened. I think you are brilliant, no matter what.

For this section, the stress has been unbelievable. I have felt the following: exasperation, moments-of-clarity followed by brain-fog, exhaustion, being close to weeping. Muteness, followed by absolute blankness, flurry of writing, copy/paste/backstep/lose it - urrrggghhhhhh!!!!

Thank you SG68 - sometimes it is nice to hear others who KNOW what it's like :-)

I so know what it's like and all the stress that goes with it. Whenever someone asks if I'm thinking about going back to school, I remember my last year and the last paper I had to deliver. It was nearly enough to break my spirit - I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to not have loved the topic.

Take your grade and be free of it.

This is me from days on from here. So - how did it go? I'm sure the Emperor had some splended clothes and you got flying marks!

It doesn't help with the stress without having a sort of writing 'chum' with whom you can work,chat,natter,criticise etc.... discuss it all cos that lets out the steam.

Hope it all went surprisingly well... you deserve it.

I am about to hand the final paper in on this module - I won't find out til July 9th. I was warned that it would be a lower mark than I usually get - right now, I will be happy with a pass, to be honest with you.
