> Gosh. What wonderful support! Thank you all so very much.
This is the first time I ever printed out responses from a board.
I'm feeling a bit more confident now; a bit of sleep and some concrete
advice, and a good meal do help.
And to answer your questions [if memory serves]: the pstim makes the ADD
all but gone. Ironically I wasn't even diagnosed until the reading for
my general exams forced me to admit my "study techniques" were a cumbersome
compensation for ADD and a bit of dyslexia. Convincing a pdoc of this
was a trip tho.
As for the fellowship and toeing the dept line -- I've already deviated
by my gender, age, being a mom of 2 kids, an excellent and caring teacher
whose office is overrun by undergrads. My interests are pretty "unusual"
for my field. They've cut me all the slack they can. The nomination means
a great deal, the end of a long battle etc., so I will not disappoint.
And when you get right down to it, it's only 5 pages a day to hit what
I thought was a ridiculous target. I'll manage.It's funny how wacked out we[students here] get from working and fretting
in total isolation. We don't stop to realize that everyone has thoughts like
this to some degree. Duh.As for the topic, I would love to tell you *all* about it, but my field is super-small
and the search engines would pick it up in no time flat and then I'd be dead, career-wise.Thank you, thank you again.
I'll post when I hand the beast in.
