It's over! Also, I apparently am smart.

The show finally came to a close last weekend. Some thoughts about that, as well as some awesome pictures, over at Cass Down Under.

I had a nice conversation with one of my profs today after my last tutorial of the week. She had handed me back my paper for my "Queer Theory" course (I got a "High Distinction" on it, which is basically equivalent to an A+) and told me that she really enjoyed reading it and that I should think about going on and getting a PhD. This makes me feel awesome for the following reasons:

1) I had been a bit worried about this paper because I hadn't written anything but English papers for almost a year now,
2) Having an eloquent and obviously EXTREMELY intelligent person say "you are good at this" does WONDERS to combat my "imposter" syndrome,
3) There is no number three. Who needs a number three? Just YAY!
4) I am really enjoying this course (and the various other cultural studies courses I'm in) and have been seriously thinking about whether I want to do graduate studies in general.

I've also been just a little worried for the past three years (and this is, again, directly related to "imposter syndrome") that I have only been doing so well in University because it's a small school, etc. I've been kind of afraid to take full credit for how well I've been doing. But considering my study habits have changed absolutely NONE since I came here, and my grades have remained consistent with those at home, it is starting to sink in that I might possibly, maybe, by some small chance, actually be, like, kind of good at this stuff.

Okay, enough self-congratulating, time to do some reading and write some postcards.

OOH! Right! Speaking of postcards...
