Mental Health Update

Stress from completing a post-graduate degree can cause anxiety.

I’m not asking for pity, mind you (yes I am), just expressing some more anxiety. Granted, a lot of the of blogs I looked at were people who were farther along their candidacy than I. In particular, Shashi’s blog really impressed me–he and I finished our B.A.s the same year, but (my guess is) he went right into the grad program while I first pursued employment in publishing and then spent a year dithering, twiddling my thumbs, and generally doing nothing to make an impact in the larger world. But here he is, quoting Edward Said and excerpting journal articles like there’s no tomorrow. I’m not even sure what journals cater to my critical interests.
