Deadlines flowing past me left and right
Spooky
Slivers of hope shining like rays of sun from above
A 99%, a 98%, a 95%
When I learn to live for the applause of others will it be 100?
Somehow I get extensions
They propagate in my inbox
With time I am restlessly wondering
What it means to be a doctoral level student
Am I up to par?
Can I do this?
Is my specialist degree enabling growth in me?
Can I become a doctoral scholar?
These questions scare me into alertness
I have given up on the idea of learning the knowledge in the most perfectly personal, perfectly meaningful way
In favor of the practical reality of becoming...
Becoming like Michelle Obama
A person worth fighting alongside
To engender change
After I was assaulted at my job
Time seemed to stop for me
However, I still want--- no, need...
To get this degree
