Confessions...

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm excited to go home. I usually hesitate when it comes time for me to answer. I'm trying to make it seem like I hate Michigan because I don't. I have accomplished a lot since I have been here and that's nothing to look over. But truthfully I have never really been a big fan of Michigan. Not because I don't like the school or anything but because I can't do cold weather and covert racist people. I just don't know how to tell everyone that I hold so dear to me that a little piece of my heart has always been in VA! There is just something about that place that just speaks to me. I love the dedication to culture, weather, Metro, and not to mention my mother and sisters are there. So I guess to answer everyone's question: YES!!! I can't wait to see what is waiting for me when I head home! No longer do I want to look at my move in a negative light I am prayerful that something good will come from this! I'm just excited to see what!



But please believe I will probably shed a tear when it comes time for me to leave everyone.....

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

You Passed

Remember when I said that I was going to be more diligent about posting and keeping everyone updated on what was happening? Yeah, I don't remember that either. As of September 5, 2017, I am officially a PhD Candidate. That means that I sufficiently convinced my three person committee (all women might I add) that I know what I'm talking about and am somehow capable of writing a dissertation. This a HUGE deal. Anyone who has gone through, started or completed any amount of work towards a doctorate knows just how stressful this portion of the program is. There are actually no words that will sufficiently explain how large this achievement is. *As you can tell, this post is LATE. And I do mean late. I've been a candidate for months now. Forgive me.*
