hi rsk,
It's funny-- when I told my professor my idea, he was rather intrigued, and concerned. He thought it was a really interesting topic, but when he heard that I was writing about my own personal experiences, he gave me the option of not presenting, and writing a paper instead. Well, I did both, so I'm feeling a little smug. The paper is more like a journal, with clippings from newspapers and other tidbits. Personal reflections. not so much academic gunk.I was really scared to present this stuff. Prof told me to use my best judgment, and not to talk about more than I was ready to talk about. I was amused when he said "We don't want to have to carry you out on a stretcher". Well, I probably could have used a stretcher. But a few tears and a panic attack, in the privacy of my car was okay, I suppose. Being in a haze sure makes a long drive go faster. hmmm
I'm glad I went through with it. I might have wondered, otherwise. My classmates got a lot out of it, I believe. They were riveted, and a lot of discussion followed. As for solace-- perhaps? maybe on the horizon?
((((respite))))
