Caution: Overly dramatic post to follow!

Not a long post here, just thought I would check in. I am still struggling over here in procrastinationville. I should be a little more fair to myself . . . I am one busy person. The working, teaching, volunteering, etc. tends to keep me a little busy. I'm starting to get a little scared that I may never get this thing done. I sort of feel like I'm treading water here. Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing normally, and at others, like I'm going under. I understand this post is not directly related to avoiding PhDivaness . . . well, wait, maybe it is. I think a part of being a PhDiva is losing self-awareness. I really think that those who achieve PhDivadom find themselves with an ego level that prevents emotions like feeling out of control . . . because nothing is ever their fault. They are above the feelings of panic and distress that cause one to question their ability to actually function as an academic. So, yes, I guess this post is about the topic at hand. I guess my feelings of desperation . . . maybe that was overdramatic . . . how about building levels of panic . . . I don't know if I am ever going to accurately capture it . . . oh well, I will continue . . . I guess these feelings prove that I am still quite self-aware, and am feeling similar feelings to those who have gone before me.

I will press on. I will get something done on this oppressive document tomorrow. And, I promise, my next post will not be quite as overly dramatic . . .

Peace out, y'all.
