Hey, everyone! I've been away from internetland for a few days, but it sure was nice to come back and find all this ongoing support.
Contemporary, I was particularly struck by something you said in your last post:
\I used to think I had very diverse interests, and superficially, I do. At the core, they are all related. It takes some time to see this, be patient with yourself. I have no doubt your willingness to work is being noticed.
I'm beginning to come to this conclusion myself. I have a variety of interests that seem, at best, loosely connected. Increasingly, though, I realize that my engagement with each of these topics revolves around a core set of questions. So now I need to work on defining the core questions more clearly. Anyway, it feels like progress.
The presentation this week went well, and my big research project is underway. I hope everyone else's semesters are off to a good start!
