Since I was really tired before, I ended up not going to the Comparative workshop. I feel a little bit guilty about it, but I really wasn't feeling all that well and everything.
I'm realizing more and more how much I don't really pay attention to things that are apparently big compliments to my abilities and everything. I was asked to be the TA for the Research and Statistics graduate class next semester; when we had our class last semester, our TA was a fifth year. So being asked to TA a grad class when I'm only in my second year should be kind of a big deal. My parents were really excited for me and the professor I'll be working with is really excited...and I guess on some level I'm flattered and everything and I'm glad they all have that sort of confidence in me. But my immediate thoughts were about how I was probably going to fuck it up and they were going to regret placing me in that position and everything.
And...I don't know. I should not immediately jump to "holy shit I am going to fail" sort of thoughts. I really shouldn't. I should have the confidence in myself that they have in me. But I just don't, really. I wish I did. I guess that is just something I need to keep working on and everything.
