that sucks that you're feeling intimidated by academics! how so? usually when i've been intimidated by academics it has been because the academics are pompous jerks :( but there are lots of awesome, non-intimidating academics out there too, who are usually quieter and harder to find than the intimidating ones.

i guess it's more being intimadated by the fact that it seems like everyone around me has a better grasp of like of what is going on. i just want to do really well, and actually understand what is happening, but i feel like i am missing everything. it's a strange experience going back to school as someone who has been out for a few years when most of my friends are almost finishe or finished a degree and know things like what time the library closes and how to express themselves eloquently. i guess.
