Yesterday, I received a message from a Professor that I always believed found my work subpar. I struggled in her class. I resumed some bad habits to cope with the stress of her class while taking it one year ago. I enjoyed the material that she presented. Really enjoyed it. My preference would be to work on a dissertation in that area, in fact. Still, I always thought that she felt I was lacking in some way.
That is the reason that the email was such a shock. She invited me to submit an abstract of one of the projects that I completed for her course to present at a conference.
I sat shocked, and, as my husband would understand, "I was astound."
Am I submitting that abstract? Um. Yes. Of course. I will have it written by Monday.
Isn't it funny that we still make fun of the "I was astound" girl, all these years after the Columbia disaster? Best thing that ever came out of that accident, I tell you!
