Hey Non-divas,
You more mature divas may recognize "The Jeffersons" reference in the title . . . Holla . . .
Just wanted to check in to say that I am still pluggin away at the dissertation stuff. I am hangin in there, and continue to code data and create the stories of my interviewees. I am taking the transcriptions and using their words to put their stories out there. I hope I'm doing a good job. I love these women, and believe in their causes. I want to do a good job. I so want to represent them well. I know I go on and on, but it is a concern that I have. However, with those concerns in the forefront of my mind, I continue to plug away at the final product. I'm trying to work to beat down the anxiety (read: panic) that I feel sometimes about finishing. I figure actually working is probably better therapy than sitting around and giving in to the worry.
Oh, BTW, another example of how not to be a PhDiva . . . my WONDERFUL chair is on my list to send positive things everyday . . . when she's in a good and productive place, she will often respond with either a snarky comment (always appreciated) or a sweet comment. These responses are enough to register as a non PhDiva event, however, this last week, I sent a message out that had something to do with a true friend . . . something about being comfortable enough to be yourself, etc . . . and she sent me a message back that said, "I guess you and I are friends, huh". It was just a little blip, but it meant the world to me AND further proved that PhD does not have to equal PhDiva!
I love it when I make good choices!
Peace out, yo ;)
