So.
Friday I had this minor nervous breakdown which culminated in me sitting in Kyra's office telling her I wasn't even sure I wanted to go to grad school, let alone do honors. Simply put, I've been trying to do too much. Greek is driving me insane, I'm committed to a dozen extracurriculars, and I'm taking like 19 credits that matter. Oh, and did I mention my senior recital? So I dropped Suor Angelica (a shame, but I will so be front-row center for the performance), we're cutting our independent study back to once a week, and I'm no longer presenting at the Undergrad Conference. With any luck, this will prevent me having to drop a class or quit something like Schwa.
Kyra, Vandiver, and Fenik were all extremely supportive, which makes me realize how lucky I am to be here and to have professors who are invested in both my career and my sanity. Kyra, especially--she told me that she was confident that I'm able to write an honors thesis and that I would do well in grad school. Those were things I really needed to hear just then. (On a side note, has anyone else ever noticed that English has a TON of words which begin with "th"? I wonder that we didn't adopt theta into our alphabet.)
And then they sent out writtens results last night. I passed with distinction. That news could not have come at a better time.
