Productive day
Apr. 24th, 2007 05:18 pmI made a serious dent in the transcription work today. Well, I made what appears to the naked eye to be a serious dent in the transcription work.
Tomorrow: meeting with the advisor. As much as I love and adore my advisor (because she is truly the best) I'm dreading the conversation. I'll need to go over the why's and how's of my non-progress on my dissertation proposal along with asking her how I might best go about my work so that I can leave the state so I can be closer to my boyfriend. That's kind of a tough thing to bring up to a radical feminist.
I'm 95% sure that she'll understand (as she's a woman very in love with her husband). But there's still that uncertainty that she might freak out and call me a traitor to the feminist cause and demand I finish my work here and not let false, romantic notions of "love" derail or distract me whatsoever.
Again, I doubt she will, but it's the argument that I would have given to myself 18 months or so ago. And I would have yelled and rolled my eyes, too.
But with karma kicking my ass yesterday, I think my slate has been wiped clean for a fresh start where I can have two really great things that I want as long as I'm willing to put forth the effort to get them. I am.
