Being Positive

I have just browsed the last few entries and my narrative is so anxious, worried, tentative. Yuck! That is going to change right now. I am so excited for this dissertation. I am up for the challenge; this is what I have always wanted to do. When a dream comes true sometimes it is scary and hard to believe. But I have to remember that this is a real dream come true.

I finished another fellowship application today, so I did give my work lots of thought. I tried to situate my work in the context of international development because that was the focus of the fellowship. It is interesting to have to locate your work in different intellectual camps for the sake of funding.

I'm done for today. Time for a few beers with the kids.
