The Desire


I'm reading about the importance of desire when it comes to getting projects accomplished. My dissertation desire scale's been low. There's some, but I wouldn't call it overwhelming. Or burning. I do want to finish it. What I've already written I love. But the stuff I'm working on now feels repetetive and deadendish once again. If I don't get some desire somewhere soon, the dissertation may be lost forever. And the rest of my life will be marked by a sense of profound failure.

Girlfriend, it's much too late, in this lifetime, for you to be anything resembling a "profound failure", with or without a completed dissertation.
Some of us lack the desire to get even that far, and prefer to focus on inconsequential things like making a superb key lime pie, which I will attempt for Friday, in lieu of a doctorate degree.

You can do it. I finally finish my silly M.Ed. this year, and everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to go further. But I have NO desire to write a disertation. So I applaud you and your perseverence!

Good Lord! Your little "hidden" pics and signs are quite dark. Snap out of it! You're a fantastic, awe-inspiring person.
PS: Check out book comments on Pessl blog.

Okay, I'm really trying.
I got the facial this afternoon and it really helped. I only cried twice talking to M during our meeting. Big improvement over how it's been over here.
Now I'm heading over to the hobby store because the kids want to wear orange and maroon ribbons tomorrow in memory of the VT students.
