Oh, fluctuation. School makes me feel incapable, but my research assistantship makes me feel not only capable, but actually good at something, something I enjoy, even.

Socially, though, I go from being happy to feeling adrift. More often than I'd like.

My goodness, I do complain a lot, don't I?

I have these same feelings!! The fact that I am struggling with the grant proposal makes me feel like a failure, but in class, I feel like I'm smart. Or, at the very least, Not an Idiot.

Socially sometimes I feel very cut off, and others I feel like, omg, maybe I will have friends here? (As a result, I am inviting people over during break, in hopes of having the least professional interaction possible.)

And you don't complain a lot. This is a tough time for everyone, I think, and it is good a) for you to get things off your chest, and b) for the rest of us to have someone to commiserate with! It's good to know that it's not just me.

Thank you. Sometimes I seriously feel like Complainosaurus Rex.
