Adelaide9216 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I learned that I am going to do an intervention on tv at the end of this month on mental health and mental illness. I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelaide9216 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Managed to spend the last two days without feeling too depressed. Today is a good day. PokePsych 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeodan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My meditation tapes often talk about practicing gratefulness to decrease stress and feelings of depression, so after a majorly ridiculous day, I think I'll indulge. 1. On the day of a Skype interview (which was stressing me out), I'm grateful I got to spend the morning with friends painting a Dr. Seuss mural at a women's shelter. Doing good and doing art really helped chill me out before the interview. 2. I'm grateful to my friend who allowed me to conduct my interview at her house because she has good wifi and mine sucks. 3. I'm grateful one of my SOP editors told me to narrow my interests more and come up with a few good project ideas, because they asked for ideas during the interview, so if I hadn't spent the time to come up with ideas, I would have been laughed out of the interview.

surprise_quiche Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 My two first classes of teaching assistantships and a teaching practicum actually went smoothly, now for the long drive to Northwestern tomorrow, but I'm not feeling nearly as panicked as I did for my first meeting.

lemma Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I found out today that I passed a really daunting professional exam (~40% pass rate) on my first attempt, and somehow scored in the top band It might seem weird to be taking a professional exam, given that I'm hoping to pursue an academic career. I registered for this exam before I started my PhD applications, as my current firm implicitly requires people to do it. If I decide to be an industry-based researcher eventually, it will probably be useful for that. I'm so relieved - I was supposed to study for four months but because of my PhD application process, that got cut to six weeks, so I ended up being under an uncomfortable amount of stress. The other person in the office also passed, and had been shattered to fail it six months ago, so I'm over the moon for us both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khigh Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Started researching primary sources for a book that my boyfriend and I want to write about the experiences of women in Berlin in 1945. It made me realize that I can still be an historian even if I don't make it this cycle. Tigla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokePsych Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 OMG my master thesis results came out actually quite nice! Hope my advisor will be equally thrilled because we're on too something superinteresting and theoretical + practical important.

khigh Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That feeling when you share a future blog post with a local prominent writer and their response is “that’s not a blog post; that’s the start of a book!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeodan Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 On-site interview went SO WELL it's ridiculous. The stable isotope lab/profs/town/everything at this school was so surprisingly good that the school actually jumped up my list from tier 2 to 1. Which is kinda great and kinda terrible because now I have 3 schools in my personal tier 1 and this one is nowhere near the water (which is a giant drawback for me). Decision time is gonna be hard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
